Not a reason for not doing it ;)
No, but breakage is. There has to be a major benefit to justify the cost, and you, at least, have not provided such a justification.

Well, as I said, existing code like

switch(errno) {
        case ENOTSUP:
                foo();
                break;
        case EOPNOTSUP:
                bar();
                break;
}


That's pretty weak, though.
