There are simple technical arguments for doing so, SERPENT and Twofish
are both either as secure, or more secure than rijndael, as it stood with
the amount of cryptanalysis the three received as part of the AES
selection process. (Serpent, as it stood, was more secure, since it had
more rounds, and more proven sboxes).
Adding more *secure* algorithms does no harm.
