Given that the JSR (or its implementation in this Project) does not 
propose making such a change, establishing sufficient discussion to 
merit such a change would be a task for someone at some other point in 
time.

So, to avoid going down a highly speculative alley, I'd suggest tabling 
the arguments for or against such a change until it is actually being 
proposed by someone for discussion, rather than just being speculated 
about for a very long term future.
