Under prior editions? I don't believe cyberware would have turned to goo.

Under 3rd Edition? Absolutely. Earlier editions didn't have the clearly

ed.
I'd spend 1/2 hour dinning out a pabe if I didn't have this awful cold.

That has pretty much always been the rule, though it may not have been spelled
