Would be sensible in fact because this leaves you the power to decide.

The other way round is simply wrong: We'd include AMS whenever there is a
\binom macro defined somewhere. This could even stem from some packege that
is not compatible with AMS and LyX happily includes AMS - and, what's worse
- there would be _no_ way to change this.

And it's not just \binom, if we were consequent this would hold for _any_
of the 200 or so AMS symbols, too.
