I just thought that it will have a huge psychological effect. Right now the brain is adjusted to the way numbers go from 0. Seeing some arbitrary number right near your code is not the best thing. Bram says it's annoying for people when we mess with existing settings, isn't this one of them? A lot of people who use relative number at the moment are used to check the current line number in the status bar. Moving this to another place breaks people habits. Yes, they will still be able to use status bar for that, but they get some distractive information.
