Sure, there are enough reasons to not use a standardized "packaging" protocol.
It comes with risks of course, but if it is well understood, it is much 
simpler. The problem with the draft wiki page is that others use it to push
their agenda of antagonising OpenPGP and Debian without understanding the 
technical matter. So having giving more context and a better fitting headline 
would clarify this.
