I may be humour impaired, but that sounds like a good idea! Why make it hard if there is an easier way? The command line is used way too much by the community trying to help the newbies. I think there should be a big change in this attitude. Wherever I come, I try to tell people of the graphical way to do it, when a CLI-way is presented. The CLI is for power users. It's usually faster (and certainly easier to type by the helping community), but it requires more pre-existing knowledge about the actions you're trying to complete. A GUI can be explored and learned as you go.
