Oh defo. Having said that, I got rid of my actual front page and redirected it to the talk page. People can get a pretty good picture of what I'm about *in the wikipedia context* from my interactions, and for people who want more there are heaps and heaps of subpages with all kinds of stuff. Contact lists, old watchlists, sandboxes, all kinds of stuff.
An advantage of collapsing user and talk pages into one is that it immediately simplifies your signature. There's only one page to link to.
