One great reason to do all of this is to shake up the cobwebs in our thinking. A lot of our processes are fantastic, organically evolved over time, and shouldn't be changed. But they aren't all perfect and we need to always remain experimental -- it's a wiki after all.
That's no excuse for doing things that there is a *very* strong consensus against.
