I'd only put a quick release on it if I was sure that everyone who used it was going to lock up their back wheel (I'd encourage the Sheldon Brown lock strategy [1]). Most people lock the frame and maybe the front. This back wheel would make up the majority of the cost of your average bicycle in the rear wheel alone, making it easier to steal isn't the best idea. Maybe ship it with a nice hex wrench to make taking it off easier, but a quick release on that would be a bad idea if you're marketing it to cycling novices.
I know if I got it, it'd be pitlocks all the way. My commuter is barely worth $500, this would double what it's worth in a single easily-removed part.
