I don't know what readers would notice. I still use roman numerals
for front matter because I like following traditions when it's not
a lot of extra work for me to do so. It feels good to me when the
manuals I write seem like "real" books, even if they're not printed
any more. With PageLabeler, it's not much overhead to keep the
traditional scheme, so I see no need to abandon it.
