First reason is no longer valid; The code that was found is actually doing the wrong thing, and is being fixed right now. Second reason is about effeciency in regular expressions. The so called ContentMatchExpression part of the Destination will be evaluated on every request across every "wire". Not that RegExps are extremely slow, and perhaps a bit moot. Third reason is that RegExps are hard to figure out what is wired or not. By having more static declarations makes it easier for tools visualize the wiring. Humans also has problems to fully understand how RegExps really evaluate (when beyond the most basic constructs).
