Well, I think a major distinction is here is whether the 2/5 is running Brooklyn or Bronx bound.

If you're in Manhattan, headed to Brooklyn, the 2 & 5 will get you to the same point in Brooklyn- all they need to do is announce whether the train will run local or express along Eastern Parkway- and, when things get backed up or otherwise hairy, locals and expresses, even on non-rerouted trains get switched often enough.

But headed to the Bronx, the 1,2,4,5, and 6 are going to really different places (except for Nereid 5s). So- if you're on the Lex Avenue line headed north, and needing to get to the Dyre branch, you KNOW that a 2 won't get you there. So, headed uptown, I think even re-routed IRT trains need to keep their proper identity.
