It would also be incorrect to consider it a material performance optimization (the true target of this fork). While certain implementations may fail to cache the small amount of necessary block version history, that deficiency is not inherent in the consensus rules affected by this proposal. In that sense this is a shortcut in place of, "applying the best overall solution" - in other words, it creates technical debt.
