"Recommend against it"? Why?
It's a separate command, so if it doesn't fit your working style, don't
use it. I think it _is_ a well-defined and useful action ("snapshot the
working dir") that people would sometimes like to perform, and having a
simple git command to do it would be good.
Morever, as an almost trivial alias, "code bloat" is hardly an argument
against it!
[But please, call it "addrm" -- "addremove" is just gratuitously long...]
