From the Magic Tournament rules:
7. Limited Tournament Rules
7.2 Sideboard Use
.
.
.
Players participating in Limited tournaments that do not use decklists may freely change the composition of their decks between matches by exchanging cards from their deck for cards in their sideboard without being required to return their deck to its original composition before their next match. The Head Judge or Tournament Organizer must inform players if this option is not being used prior to the start of deckbuilding. This option is not available at Competitive or Professional REL tournaments.

So, not a judge concern at all.
Not a gentleman thing perhaps, but that's completely up to the player.
follow-up: should the TO tell this guy “please don't do this again in my store - change behaviour, or change store”, what should we do?

Originally posted by Tristan Killeen:As Judges, we have a responsibility not just as rules enforcers but as educators and as community leaders, so I'd need more specifics about Alfred's behavior. If he took the opportunity to educate the local player-base about the rules at Regular, I'd have no issue with it. On the other hand, if he pulled out the JREL document as a “gotcha” after getting “caught,” I might want to start a conversation. I've unfortunately had experiences with players who think that judge-players use their knowledge of the rules to take advantage of corner-cases. Validating that suspicion seems counter-productive.
Follow-up: Would you do or say anything differently if Alfred was a local Level 1 Judge?
