I think it probably started when arrangers treated flug/rep
as a quasi interchangeable part. Especially when their music is
 printed on the same page.

The flugal sound would be better pointing out rather than being burried 
in the cornets.
I see no reason not to switch seating depending upon the scoring
but that would probably be to radical.
