The only drawback is that he has to put up with well meaning busybodies who insist on reminding him that his QR is backwards. Or sometimes, that his front wheel is.
Once in a while, I'm tempted to try it his way, to see if it can distract folks from commenting about my missing helmet.
I use to do this for fun occasionally. When a newbie would tell me that my front wheel skewer was backwards, I'd tell them that that is the way the pros do it so air is deflected out and around the chainrings and rear derailleur.
