My argument against is that this change continues the churn on our UAs, which have already been publicized [1]. Unless there is a clear benefit, I think we should avoid shooting ourselves in the foot by making changes that may impact compatibility. However, in all fairness, I have no data on how many sites currently recognize the Firefox Tablet UA.
