I really hope this convention gains wide adoption. It's pretty obvious to me that it just makes mathematics make more sense, at exactly the time when it needs to make more sense (people learning maths in high school).
Until then, here's the trick I'm using: whenever I need to use pi, especially when it comes to the unit circle and radians, I'm just going to do it in terms of tau, then convert at the end. I just wish I'd have understood this before I finished my degree :)

People have been studying math at schools for quite a few centuries from what I recall. There's never a better time in this case.
