Agree, but the smaller physical size and construction of modern equivalent components obviates some potential orientation issues for most all consumer grade applications. It is still very much advisable to duplicate original lead dress even if it means lengthening a component's lead once in a while. Careful tack and reverse of suspected critical components is also a possibility should there be a problem.
