I'd vote AGAINST this. Imagine if you use GIMP without any layer
functionality, and suddenly you find that cut & erase change to do
different things in version 1.4, and the only way to get them back to
normal (for you) is through a strange hack involving multi-colored
layers.

I do like the idea of implicit alpha on the operations Sven
mentioned...
