Default Breakers as Switches - Good Idea?

Years ago, my glider's panel was rewired by an owner of a FAA certified repair station / avionics shop. He used two circuit breakers as the main (and only) switches on my panel. I have two batteries and he installed two breakers. They look like the breaker you have linked to at Aircraft Spruce.

The breakers are wired so I can turn on one, or the other, or both at the same time (switching from one battery to another and not losing power to the panel.)

I must say, the extremely neat bundle of white wires, expertly run behind the panel, sure looks good compared to the rat's nest of Radio Shack stuff that was there before!
