You are quite correct, however that is only available in RADAR coverage.
Not sure what you mean about the flight occuring, lots of flights have occurred and none have actually breached Restricted airspace, (so far from radar in fact the transponder got lonely
) but the point has been made where it could do, and the original thread was started about someone avoiding it.
But with the ever increasing workload of Flightwatch activities for ATC's the chances of Flight Following being available is quite likely to be reduced.
