Nonono. Please no. This has saved me more times than I can even care to remember. Especially whenever I'm teaching newcomers how to git. I really wouldn't want to not have it there in case its needed and some schmuck upgrades git and then loses something vital because he forgot to enable the reflog on an old repo.

Does it add significantly to the maintenance burden?
