It's a feature that needs to be very carefully implemented, as you really don't want to be mucking around with your component switching any more than you have to (for fear of signal degradation). I think in time it'll become more common, along with more component inputs (two was pretty typical a few years ago, but three is becoming more common) and eventually DVI switching. For now, I prefer to keep my component switching limited to purely a pass-through switching process and I don't expect to have more than one DVI source for a few more years (I'll be getting an HD cable box soon to go with the HDTV I've got ordered, but will be staying with component outputs for my DVD for one more player generation).
