Hi @JonMcNinch, welcome onboard.
Firstly, yes it is within reason , I came to the same conclusion whilem playing alpha 20, since it did not matter before aside from cosmetics.
But some people were faster because it seem to bug a lot of us.
There are more BUT you are not alone, rest assured the message will get to radiant and even if someone suggested/thought about it before, feel free to post your ideas and thoughts again.
The forum community here is pretty laid back and friendly.
