Actually, I'd like to see us de-emphasize the so-called "Fists
frequencies".  They have become almost an new-age embodiment of everything
that was wrong with the old Novice slow code ghettos.  The goal of Fists
should NOT be to perpetuate slower operators, but to encourage growth in
our skill levels.  You don't get skilled hanging around in enclaves with
other slower operators.  You get skilled by stretching yourself outside
your comfort zone.
