There is a benefit: it's simpler and would avoid future problems like the one just fixed.

Currently we have more-complicated guideline, which is that one should use #include <...> for include files in category A, and that you can use either style for files in category B, and that these categories are explained somewhere in the documentation. (Also, a file may migrate from category B to category A in the future; this isn't explained yet....)

It'd be simpler to say "It's better to use #include <...>."

Whatever guideline we use, either the contributors need to learn the guideline, or we can politely adjust their code once contributed. I don't see why a simpler guideline would discourage contributors; quite the contrary.
