Yes, and as a user, I'd prefer if I (and all the users) do not have
to even worry about the "sparse" hack.

If you are using submodules, it was in its design from day one that
it is not unsual for many of your submodules to be uninitialized
(but still present).  And that is a pretty normal state.  I do not
think we want to expose users to the "sparse" hack only to use
submodules effectively.
