Good question! Imagine that there is a notehead with a width smaller than epsilon. We'd like to use it to position elements, but if skylines throw away anything with a width less than epsilon, the note head will not be part of the skyline and things will be positioned on top of it. The concern before was a comment about numerical inaccuracy, but after having tested the patch, this seems not to be an issue.
