IMHO, what makes it sloppy/lazy but necessary is that the "sloppy/lazy" is probably not happening on your system but somewhere else in the chain -- an autopilot system for example.  It might be lazier, or more unnecessary, than changing a feed every time you realize that (an) active echo(es) have suddenly stopped flowing but it works so long as you are using a modern tosser.

OTOH, there are networks that do not permit this practice and you need to respect that.  But for FIDO, where in recent past we've had RCs just up and disappear, it it almost necessary if you are a local hub.
