Sure. I don't use them either. But because I don't use them, it doesn't 
affect me. It also doesn't change the core git data structures in any way 
to introduce any new problems.

Also, if there isn't a required piece of history, things generally break 
very loudly. IOW, there are only certain things you can do with a shallow 
repo. In general it's absolutely _not_ a "no big deal" issue, quite the 
reverse - it's a deal-breaker.
