There are resons to make it better.

There is no reason to claim geda has much better foundations than PCB.

There are reasons to check what parts PCB got better and what parts gschem 
got better and change both tools accordingly.

There is no reason to label any attempt to any change dangerous only 
because it's a change to existing tools, not proposed by you.
