Well, I'm not one to argue (wait, no, that's a lie, I am!), but isn't eventual porting a very good reason to abstract this and use a constant? By which I mean local to this script, nothing system wide. In this way, less code to maintain and update if the implementation of 0 changes.
Just a thought.
