Sounds good, but may I suggest that before enforcing it, make sure that
every admin is fully compliant, otherwise it will seen arbitrary and
hypocritical.

Actually, when it comes to brightly coloured extraneous gumph on user pages,
admins seem to be worse offenders than most, probably because they tend to
have been around for a while and accumulated flashy little boxes and pix and
templates.

How about making it five *templates* maximum on a user page?
