The advanced sections are useful to not overload the UI with options you are never use.
The problem is when you do use those options—or rather, someone on your team used those options without telling you and now you are trying to figure out why the build is behaving weirdly. Without this patch, there is no visual indication that anything in the advanced section has been touched. And even if you know/remember that there is something customized in a given advanced section, if you made that customization it is quite likely you are going to make changes to it in the future and want to always see it.
Remember that the patch only expands those advanced sections with customizations. Others in the same form are left collapsed. So for example if you have a job with an Ant build step that defines some properties, that section will be shown in full, but there will still be a collapsed section at the top for display name and custom workspace.
I would not argue against making advanced sections recollapsible, but that is an orthogonal RFE.
