+1 on this. I think this is too rushed and un-thought-out. I don't
really see how this could really be such a benefit, but I do see the
potential for confusion/offense among some users. Personally I wouldn't
care, but objectively speaking I could see how people would think it was
a little questionable.

So, I vote "no" as well. If we start working now, we can have something
much better for FC7, which really isn't far away.
