Heh... At the risk of starting World War III, you are denying yourself one amazing tool for DBA's. Yeah, yeah... I know all the warnings everyone gives about MS maybe some day picking the same name as one of your procs (easily prevented by thoughtful naming) and MS maybe overwriting all of the master database and destroying your procs (easily overcome with a distribution sproc properly maintained in source control) but, as parenthetically indicated, those are minor almost trivial obstacles.
