'Note that pieces that can move orthogonally forward more than one square
(the Rook and Queen) never use the Pawn's double-move ability, and so
can
never be captured en-passant, even when moving two squares forward from
the
2nd rank without a capture. '

An interesting further variant that would weaken rooks and queens could
ignore this.
