So what happens when you already have a tempo track, then you drag tempo
to another automation track? Will the existing tempo track be deleted?
Will the tracks be merged to one? What happens to any other (non-tempo)
automation on that ex-automation track? I'm sorry, it just seems more
trouble than it's worth, to me...
Why would you need or want to drag the tempo widget anyway? With a
single tempo track, creating a tempo automation is as simple as clicking
the tempo track on an empty spot, and the created pattern would
automatically already be connected to tempo (since any pattern on tempo
track can only be connected to tempo, there's no reason not to create
them pre-connected).
The only reason I can see for maintaining tempo-draggability is that
people are used to doing it.
But, on the other hand, sometimes it's necessary to break old ways of
doing things, to make room for new, improved functionality. People will
complain, sure - because some people will *always* complain about *any*
change, no matter what it is. There were people who complained about the
new default theme. There will be people who will complain about the new
fx mixer. No matter what the change is, someone IS going to complain,
with 100% certainty, no matter how good a change is, there's always at
least one person who thinks it ruins everything forever...
