Well, "a bad feeling" is not a convincing enough argument either, is it?
What kind of bad interaction are you fearing?

I thought the changes this first half of the topic implements were safe
for people who do not use this feature at all (which is the most important
thing I care about very first), and also I thought they made sense.

A bigger concern I actually have about this series is that the original
author seems to have gone quiet.  I would have expected a discussion on
adding Porcelain level support after the series hit 'next' to begin, so
that the underlying feature can be made more accessible by the end users.
Also a new section to tutorial or a new addition to how-to series of
documents that describe how to work inside narrowly checked out work tree,
what the pitfalls are, etc., together with follow-up improvements of what
is already in 'next', and end user questions and reports on issues should
have come, if this is ever being used by anybody by now, but none of that
has happened.
