The consequence of this is to narrow the diagonal strokes. They go from being 6% wider than horizontal and vertical strokes to being 0.4% wider. I like the consistency, but it also has a practical advantage: at round pixel sizes the daigonal edges no longer pass through pixel centres. This means that we're no longer at the mercy of rasterizer tie-breaking rules so (for instance) Ghostscripts rasterizations are symmetric now. Since the shape of diagonal lines on a real SAA5050 is determined by both edges of a clock whose duty cycle is only specified as being between 0.4 and 0.6, I claim this is still within the tolerances of the original.
