Why not? The benefits are
 - people will know about the tool
 - the particular sections will be fixed since they are touching the data base

And it doesn't prevent Linus or anybody to run the script in the future.

Actually it will teach people ahead to use the tool then in the future
we won't see such drastic deviation in ordering.
