why not?

that would be an interesting feature to add, I can see a benefit in some 
users being unable to assign things to other people (or being able to 
assign things to themselves and claim ownership of things they 
shouldn't). I was thinking you could do this with field level access 
control and stop people messing with the assignedto field, but you can't 
turn off mandatory fields
