I don't envy the IT person or newhire who inherits this environment someday. 
I'm sorry my comment isn't constructively adding to the direction you want to 
go - you're probably very smart and have thought this through, and considered 
all the pros and cons, and have good management (or you are yourself, 
management)... And I'm sorry that this email will probably spark a debate about 
whether you should or should-not, and all the reasons why, which will distract 
from the answer that you actually want. That being said, it is almost never a 
good management decision to do "tricks" and configure systems in weird, 
uncommon, nonstandard ways that will be surprising or confusing to new future 
people, or just a later version of yourself, who forgot you previously did 
something weird. If I were manager there, it would require a *very* compelling 
reason to convince me this should be done.
