Because it's the same problem. It's about ensuring that API objects remain a managable size, not just for upload, but download and editing too. The add/remove would be abandoning our REST API interface which isn't exactly a trivial change for anybody, plus 0.6 makes relations ordered anyway, so it'd be just as complicated as doing it for ways.
