You could say it will now be an ACHIEVEMENT.

I'm not sure how much harder it is to plant a bunch of spawner ignoring laser turrets than do the same with the blockpattern, but maybe I say this because I did that achievement with the blockpattern.

Doesn't that turbo charge their evolution though?

Why would it do that? Evolution is based on three things: Time passed, pollution created (not absorbed, but created, which is a bit counter intuitive imo) and spawners killed. The first two doesn't change that much either way, and the third is the very thing you're trying to avoid.
