A front-mount caliper and the design becomes fail-safe. Even thru-axles would benefit. With both ride and brake forces acting in much closer alignment it'd be far easier to keep the front wheel accurately in place.
It would also move the caliper out of the way of front fender stays, which would make mounting front fenders much less awkward.
