It's because it just works the way it is-- it's obvously not causing  
problems
in the "real world", or else we'd see tons of tickets on this. As we  
officially
support IE 6+, Firefox 1+ and Safari 1+ we don't have the problem of not
being able to sniff all browsers this way (as the main argument goes).

Well, many things have been named the biggest no-no.
Give me a yes-yes (patch+tests) and we'll all be happy. :)
