Even though it would make our life easier giving us "new features" for free it also makes much more difficult to spot possible missing features when using it in foreign distributions and I believe this is something we ought to support well. Currently I'm tagging it 'wonfix' but feel free to argue if you disagree with my point of view. Cheers, -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
