It's not a standard, and so obviously that's the case.

The only compelling reason for a binary standard would be if the 
cost/benefit ratio is appropriate to begin with. Which boils down to 
"how much faster? And perhaps, how much smaller?" vs. "how much 
additional complexity and pain does it cause". Until those questions 
are answered with prototypes and hard data, argueing remains handwaving 
speculative FUD, and no reasonable opinion can be formed either way.
