We don't really like the naked attribute, because it makes maintaining a C function that uses it a pain. Alexandre once said that he would reject any solution for the hook problem that is based on the naked attribute. This especially becomes a pain when the function has to do stack realignment, like all our Win32 functions on OSX.
But yeah, this functionality will probably be used only by Wine, since Linux and OSX offer more comfortable hooking mechanisms than opcode replacements. Although you never know, perhaps someone else finds a use for this I did not anticipate.
