So we've got one argument for function, another for usability, and mine for
aesthetics. I've never had problems with catching forward-facing QRs on things
– your derailleur is in a much more precarious position. The Chromag skewer is
shaped such that the tip tucks away safe from snags in this position – and
it's protected by the frame better than if it was dangling out the back. I
take this on a case-by-case basis and do position my DT through axle handles
out the back, so… whatever. The off-centre headset logo is probably a bigger
issue.
