I guess that would be the same sysvinit maintainer who wants people to
migrate off of sysv-rc to a dependency-based init system...
Commonly used or not (I've had to change init script sequences before, and
I've certainly never done it this way!), it does stomp on local changes to
the runlevel settings. I don't see why the needs of a handful of file-rc
users should outweigh the needs of everyone using the *standard* way to
disable services.
