You again are thinking only about uses of mini-window for editing in
the minibuffer. But that is not the only use of the mini-window.
And even in its use for the minibuffer, many users enable recursive
minibuffers. I would not be surprised if some specialized modes and
packages enabled it for their operations.

If we break too many important packages, we will have bug reports
which we will be unable to ignore. Emacs is expected to not break
third-party code too much too hard.

If the implementation is clean, and doesn't present backward
compatibility problems, why would I want to reject it?
