Thank you for advice. 
I'm surprised I didn't think of it myself.
It's a good idea to ensure consistency between 'org-checkbox' and 'org-columns-checkbox'.

And why do you want to avoid this?
When using 'org-column' I sometimes remove an empty checkbox.
So I see use in it, and most importantly, it would provide same
compatible interface for 'org-checkbox' and 'org-columns-checkbox'


In my previously message I didn't reply to all.
So now I'm fixing it CCing emacs-orgmode@gnu.org now.
