This is the first legitimate argument I've heard against the route feature. However, the -/_ replacement is only performed on the first segment. The rest of the URI is unaffected. If someone were to create a normal route to do this replacement, the two URLs would still be valid. So there is no difference in that situation. The only time it would create unexpected results is if you tried example-controller without having a route in place. In which case you would get a valid page instead of an expected 404. Given that, I would recommend a config setting somewhere to toggle the dash replacement feature. Because I still think it's beneficial.
