I'm not a fan of this. I like HN because we're all shown equally (unless you actively click on a profile link that is). The only thing I'd like, as others have said is my own ability to highlight the names of users I think are interesting (to me) - much in the same way new users are green, maybe have my own personal list of users who are in, say, red.
