How can you be surprised? For several years now you've been complaining
about the lack of balance (which supposedly breaks cc-mode assumptions
or something) while I have been pushing back arguing that it's not a bug
(in itself: there are bugs, but the mere fact that it's not balanced is
not a bug).

Implementation flexibility, of course (which apparently Eli doesn't
want to take advantage of very much).

What known disadvantages?
