Likewise.  Since the focus point flashes when you hit focus you know 
where the focus point is.  If, as I have done on the 5D and E-M5, you 
have separated focus to another button from the shutter button you won't 
waste a shot since you'll see the errant focus point before you shoot. 
You might waste a few seconds as you move the point back to center but I 
have not found it to be much of a problem.  If I needed to shoot quickly 
I'd simply move the errant focus point over the subject and then reframe 
the shot.  I often do that anyhow since the center of the image isn't 
necessarily where I want the focus.
