I'll implement it as a curiosity (and of course anyone else could as
well) but I personally think it's pretty useless as a informative
graphic element on my XO screen.  Already at these large font sizes
some of the numbers are in danger of getting swizzled into obscurity
by the XO display (depending on the colours of course) and I think a
small face like Eben's mock up[1] is going to be very hard to read on
the XO[2].

Heh...it seems like a pretty archetypal bikeshed from my perspective
;).
