> How so?

Because then NOCOPY suddenly matters for almost all coding systems, not just nil. After all, an all-ASCII input string and ASCII-compatible coding is not an unusual combination. This forces us to be careful when correcting the NOCOPY sense, and may expose latent bugs.

But you are right: we should trust calls to {en,de}code-coding-system with NOCOPY=t, and the rest can also remain as they are until someone cares enough to change them.
