The problem here is that you are thinking in terms of "one little
switch can't do no harm". You are not considering all the planned work
to make GIMP a truly non-destructive editor, all the corner cases like
native CMYK support etc.

This has been discussed a dozen of times. One of these days I'll
really finish the new FAQ so that we could prevent yet another "I'm
not here to reignite the discussion about the new save/export
behaviour, don't worry. :-)" thread.
