Aside from it leading to card marking, I'm okay with this.

What about cards #2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 are special to you? What if somebody is about to get dealt a hand, but flips a coin to decide if he'll stay or not. That coin determines what cards you will get. If it's okay either way, what's wrong with any other order? Why not deal one card around the table clockwise and another counterclockwise? Or burn before every card on the flop?

If you take this stance, you're pretty much setting yourself up for crazy monkey tilt if you're ever in a situation with an early burn & turn, or four cards on the flop.

They're just cards. It's what you do with them that matters.
