Question: replacing \rm by mathrm in Maple Latex.

As Latex improves in Maple (thanks to Physics:-Latex), I'd like to suggest not using \rm and replacing it with \mathrm.

\rm is now obsolete for long time. Reference: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/107186/how-to-write-norm-which-adjusts-its-size

 In addition, some Latex classes give warning or error when using it and workarounds are needed. For an example

\documentclass{scrbook}%notice the class is not article.
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
${\rm e}^{-t}$
\end{document}

When compiled using lualatex foo4.tex gives

l.7 ${\rm
        e}^{-t}$
?

And Maple generates lots of these. For example

Physics:-Latex(exp(-t))
 
          {\rm e}^{-t}

mathrm works and give same output. Here is an example, where now I change the class to article to make it compile 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}

${\rm e}^{-t}$

$\mathrm{e}^{-t}$

$e^{-t}$

\end{document}

gives

The first is \rm, the second is mathrm and the last is the default with no modification.

Do others see any problem if this change could be made to Maple's Latex?

I am using Maple 2020.1 and Physics  867
