Berserk increment penalty overly harsh

What's the background behind having berserkers lose all increment? It makes berserking inc tourneys less beneficial than their non-inc brethren.
Consider changing berserk to inc/2, rounded down, so:
- 1+2 => 30s+1
- 1+1 => 30s+0
Another alternative is to just make berserk half the increment as well as the time, and allow non-integer increment values for beserk
Berserking is crazy, nobody has to do it, and nobody should do it. At best, it's a trade-off of rating and win-rate for a slight chance to pull off a miserable tournament point. It's foolish, and whoever chooses to go that way must deal with the consequences. Such is the way of berserk.
