I don't think it is a philosophy change.
Similar for example to "svn revert",
SVN does not decide itself to remove local changes,
but only removes local changes on explicit request by a user.
Therefore, there is no risk of loosing data,
except if a user did something wrong
(e.g. executed revert for wrong files,
or set svn:temporary for wrong files).

Aside from the difficulty that this does not work
under windows, this does not solve the issue
that svn users may get errors without
"having done something wrong".
This error is annoying:
you switch between revisions or branches,
without changing something, only compiling,
and you get this error.
Cheers,
