Fair enough, but that would not be the Right Thing for my use cases.
(E.g. I am using submodules to have a single upstream repo for a library
which I use in almost all my projects. And fixes to that library I do in
one of these projects shall be fetchable in all other projects right
after I pushed them to the submodules repo, without having to push them
out of the superprojects repo into the shared one /again/. The situation
at dayjob is the same and I assume a lot of people are using submodules
this way).

So I would vote for not breaking the *feature* submodules currently have:
to use a different repo than that used for the superproject. Because that
enables you to have shared content. I am not against having the /choice/
to have the submodules objects in the same repo as the superproject, but
that should be an option and not mandatory.
