I'm not that keen on the phrase ritual compliance.

There is a lot of PKI code in the world that assumes
that issuer/serial is a unique identifier for a good
X.509 certificate.

It'd be best to not break such code by invalidating
that assumption.

If there's a good enough reason to do it, that might
be ok, but I figure the burden to demonstrate that
that is in fact ok should be on those arguing for such
a change.
