This has always been the staple of RTSes IMHO. You win because of the little things, you loose because of the little things, it's the little things that make you angry. It's the little things that give armies and units character, the little details that don't matter that make players unique. Like this little thing. I love the little things, they flesh everything out and give it all character, they tell me that someone went to that little extra effort to include some additional animation, some hidden element in the UI, some hard-to-see text on the underside of a unit, or in this case, a string concantation. This is one of those little things.
I'm really waiting for unit kill count, it's extremely important feature which make me happy. Also I'm agree with your idea, [D] need to be ANNIHILATED!
