why?

this is a clear case of unnecessary meddling.  removing it won't remove 
much code (a whopping 11 lines is dedicated to this), nor give any speed 
ups whatsoever; all you're doing is generating extra work and support 
issues for a bunch of third-party developers.  trust me, we have better 
things to do with our time.

-1 on meddling with this before 3.0.
