To me this is just one more bunch of rules to enforce. We have so far
to go in presenting usable verifiable information from reputable
source that getting after inappropriate user pages seems out of
priority.
You do have a point. On the other hand, people (including Jimbo)
obviously _do_ care about inappropriate user pages, as evidenced by the
Great Userbox Wars of '06. Since this seems unlikely to change, a rule
that made dealing with such pages simpler and more effective could in
fact free up more time for actually building the encyclopedia.
