I have no problem with this as it's obeying the rules but yet giving the person an advantage.
It's just a legal ("AC allows the players to substitute any texture in client side") mod that gives the player that slight advantage, although some people may find this unfair because they don't have it.
You find things like this everywhere in the gaming world, whether it's hardware i.e top quality headphones/mice to software like macro's and scripts.
It's really the individuals choice on how they want to play the game.
But then again it's also the Developers decision if they want their game to be as equal as possible client side or let the players have the chance to customize their client (within the legal boundaries) to fit their play style.
-EDIT- If the decision is not to disable bright skins, maybe have an option to enable it through the menu? this way those who have just started can still get a chance without having to do some h/w on the game.
