Unless anyone else knows a reason, I believe the general thought is "don't
fix what ain't broke."  I know some later versions can be rather
tempermental, so if it works it's usually better to let it lay.

On the other hand, until I upgraded my multia's srm, I couldn't boot from
floppy (it kept dying with floppy read errors)... hopefully you'll be OK.
