Are there any negatives to this fix?

If all miners use this rule, a few users with old clients that create high S signatures will not be able to get a confirmation for their transactions. A solution would be to fix their client, wait until the network forgot about this transaction an send new a transaction with a low S signature. Or somebody changes the transaction to low S by using the malleability mechanism.
