It depends on the build. If I was building a practical bike, it would not
matter to me. If I was building up a beautiful to look at and ride bike, it
would matter to me. Unused disc mounts are not pretty.

Obviously you can run disc hubs with rim brake rims, but hub spacing would
play a role depending on your rear hub spacing if running a disc hub. I
wouldn't spread say a 130mm rear triangle to fit a 142mm hub. Hopefully,
Shimano will provide interchangeable endcaps but I don't foresee a future
LOL, this sounds so much like carbon forks. The fear of death and
destruction. On the other hand, if you listen to my buddies, you shouldn't
be on disc brakes if you don't have the proper hydro disc brakes and thru
axle. They probably look down at you at mechanical disc brakes and qr
axles.
Chris - while there are other rim brake manufacturers (Paul, Tektro, etc.)
who are still making rim brakes, I think one of the concerns - and it has
been batted back and forth on this blog as well as by Grant on his own Blug
- is that if rim brakes disappear entirely (which I doubt) and
There is no practical reason at all that you couldn't run a disc-brake hub
with a rim-brake rim. Maybe you can make a valid objection for aesthetic
reasons, but it's hardly a reason for concern, IMHO.
