I think the reasons for not including this change are really small. What you gain is the ability to see that *something* comes through in an easy way. For most people, that is that only thing they care about.
Regarding the completely different matter of rotation pivot, that bug is still valid, and the reasons for not confusing the center of the contacts with the pivot are still there. In the future, we will most likely see no drag events as one performs a rotation around a single finger, even if both types of events are listened to.
