Go for it. The only reason I can think of (unless someone was making
animated PDFs) was that we thought, or at one time it was the case, that
convert would treat each vector in a PDF as a separate layer to be
flattened. If that's not the case (and from private use of convert
foo.{pndf,png} without -flatten I can attest that it's not) then I can
think of no reason to use it :)

Thanks for digging!
