Yeah, it'd be nicer to do it but given that the second step is adding a new, non-bitmask resource type to a set of resource types that have previously been all bitmasks I know I'd not get taken seriously suggesting it as a fix to a system integrator without a big argument about it and general unhappiness, most people doing stable releases I've worked with would have a similar response. It's not that it's unsafe, it's that it sets off alarm bells and requires more due dilligence.
