Actually, the reasons are probably more like:

A) It's a long message, and I'm lazy ;)
B) The patch has no tests or docs, which means incorporating it is more 
work for me.

But looking at it more closely, I suspect it's not something we want to 
do, because then someone could call component methods directly via a URI. 
While we've never said so in the docs, I think the implication has always 
been that these should not be exposed via the web, unless someone wanted 
to really go to the trouble of writing code that lets them do that.
