The combining with Disp8 shift is a result (or side effect), not the
purpose. The purpose is reduction of redundancy, and as such I
actually cannot see how this could get in the way of future changes.
Ideally future changes would leverage the templates where feasible,
but if there are reasons not to then "traditional" insn templates are
still going to work as before.
