Well, adding options that change behavior of an application always has
some consequences.

1) The code gets messier, especially if you keep adding things on top.
E.g. think of the proposed solution for native CMYK separation -- it
is supposed to benefit from the new model where the internal data is
32bit float linear RGB, and everything else is exporting material
that's being worked on in a separate projection.

2) Documentation and tutorials become confusing.

That's just off top of my head.
