That was suggested at some point here on CD. Then the Trolls came out. We have a few around here ya know. Something about "if I wanted to do FTC i would have done FTC." There was some raging and a bit of whining in there too, but that was the gist of it. Oh, and throw in a "FIRST is anti IFI/Vex" in there for good measure.
