Text module in legacy plugin

 

Found this in loadMODULE_TEXT:

    if( layer < FIRST_LAYER )
        layer = FIRST_LAYER;
    else if( layer > LAST_NON_COPPER_LAYER )
        layer = LAST_NON_COPPER_LAYER;
    else if( layer == LAYER_N_BACK )
        layer = SILKSCREEN_N_BACK;
    else if( layer == LAYER_N_FRONT )
        layer = SILKSCREEN_N_FRONT;

(didn't check if it's the same for the new format)

Is there a reason for not allowing text on front and back copper?
It can be useful for layer coupons or even some silkless board.
