It's mostly subjective, I guess. None of the reasons you've cited
seem at all compelling to me, and if we change this stuff then we'll
all get unnecessary questions next time we make a kernel. Anyway I
like it the way it is, and I'm the maintainer. :)

I disagree with that. There are major differences at the
implementation level for a lot of things.
