It will help at LAX with respect to what now shows as Terminal B on many itineraries - "... is Terminal B?" Bradley, of course, built after the current terminal number sequencing (of course, there wasn't a 1 back then

)

As far as I am concerned, the LAX proposal would make sense only if they were to change the terminal names from numbers to letters and gate labels continued to correspond to the terminal names instead of the councourses. Except for very frequent travelers and aviation nerds, with the exception of the first few concourses, no one is going to remember in which terminals the various lettered concourses are located.
