My opinion is that we should probably allow some customisation in this area. It just isn't blindingly high priority at the moment (for me, at least). But sometimes I fix tickets as a way of making repetitive mailing list posts die down, so the priority may change shortly. I remember having some concerns about your approach a while back, but apparently they weren't significant enough for me to attach a comment to the ticket. A bit careless on my part. :-( I'll try to reconstruct my thinking in the background and post something if/when I remember what was bothering me. I think it was a worry about making this work correctly inside a model's overridden save() method, but it's a bit fuzzy now. I'll get back to you.
