Yes, you would need a few more "cu"s here and there, but that's hardly
a big problem. And the main advantage (which is being able to form
tanru with a mix of cmevla and brivla) greatly offsets that minor
inconvenience in my opinion.
The real problem I see is that half(*) of the community would claim
that this amounts to pulling the rug from under their feet as they are
trying to learn the language, and all that stuff.
(*) Give or take some random number.
