Toeclip overlap:
While this is not an issue for racing, I cannot support the notion that it is not a big deal for most riders.
In everyday riding, one often makes tight turns at slow speeds: for example, to get on the sidewalk to press the button at a light where the sensors don't recognize a bike, or into the feed stop at a century ride. Toeclip overlap in these cases is annoying at best, dangerous at worst.
It is possible to design good randonneur/century/everyday bikes with no overlap in most sizes, and that includes fenders! The French cyclotourists would not accept toeclip overlap - a slacker head angle is a good thing in many ways, and it certainly helps here. Sure, you wouldn't want to ride criteriums on one of these, but if you check current head angles of many European racing bikes, you'll be surprised - they'd be considered fit for touring bikes in this country, if at all.
