Default is feeding acceptable or not

When a player chooses to go AI, is it acceptable for them to give all their stuff to another player?

My take:

Most honorable is to never go AI, fight to the last scrap. Your fighting for godhood after all, to lose is likely to be banished for another eternity to some very undesirable place.

Going AI is acceptable when the end is neigh, it isn't much fun to play that out. However giving all your stuff away is unacceptable on both the thematic and gaming axes. Thematically unacceptable for the same reason it is best to never go AI. Gamewise unacceptable because it gives players disruptive and unwarranted boosts of power.

I read about this happening, and I also read grumbling about it. I personally feel it is wrong, yet some act as if it is natural and OK. Natural maybe, humans are conniving, but I don't think it is OK at all.

That's my stance, how do others feel?
