I tried to point out the downsides: the change is not really trivial, and therefore will have fallout, as always happens with such changes. And we will have to deal with that fallout. Of course, since we are always overly optimistic and hope there will be no unintended consequences, we always tend to underestimate the downsides. For non-problems such as this one, changes like this are just waste of time and energy. VCS is a tool, a means to an end; let's not make changes in our code and create opportunity for subtle bugs just because people rarely make VCS-related mistakes.
