"power solution" would to have all fields and tabs prepared for all
types in the form already, so that the type-switch wouldn't require a
reload at all, just rearrangement (hiding / unhiding / moving) of fields.

But ok, that is not the task of this RFC. :)

Until we have that (or another) solution, I would propose not to simply
drop the alert, because people are apparently used to use that "hack" to
avoid the reloading. I for myself also do it often. So -1 for now, or at
least make it configurable.
