Positive? Changing any constitution imho is a big negative no matter what the reasons are. Yes it can work in favor but at what cost of original intuition of constitution. Change can be very negative in the long run. For me it means if I don't keep up then I have no knowledge of the foundation. 20 changes, oh lord.
