For a consequentialist, having decisions have "consequences" should not be a terminal value. If decisions having consequences cause those decisions to not be made, that is good, but decisions having bad consequences is, in and of itself, bad.
But it is instrumentally useful if people's decisions have consequences to the person doing the deciding that are correlated with the net affect of their decision.
