I agree, stays need to be made stronger as well, which kind of flys in the face of arguments against disk brakes.
One of the arguments against disc brakes is that fork blades need to be made more rigid. I've never seen anything like that mentioned with respect to chain stays. Besides which, rigid chain stays (coupled with flexible top tubes and stiffer down tubes) are features associated with "planing." None of that explains your comment about "flying in the face of arguments against disc brakes." Could you be more specific, or elaborate on that statement? I'm puzzled.
Makes frame more flexy. Only two real advantages and they are minor, first increased heal clearance for rear panniers/ cargo
I don't want to seem overly nit-picky, but that all-too-common mis-spelling grates on my nerves like fingernails on a blackboard. "Heels" are those things on the back of your feet that might contact a rear pannier and for which clearance is required. "Healing" is recovering from an injury or ailment. They may sound the same, but there's a huge difference. How hard could it be to use the right word?
and a minor increase in stability. That said there equally little benefit to making them super short, which is popular in some circles.
