From discussing this with Chris, I get the impression that the target
audience is himself.  His goal is to produce a distro that HE likes.

I would have to side with Chris on this one:  Go ahead and install identd
by default or when you install an IRC client, but don't even THINK about
enabling it.  Maybe suggest it to the user...  But when you nmap a new box
it should come back blank.  IMHO.
