I'd go with 'no'.  It's not aesthetically pleasing and I don't want my

Currently the ordering is: #+AUTHOR > #+LCO and AUTHOR default to
(user-full-name).

On a side-note, Viktor: this seems to be the default in scrletter
anyway:
>>> add \setkomavar{signature}{\usekomavar{fromname}}
Could we remove it?  I'd like us to get to a more clean template (C-e
# koma-letter RET).

Thanks and sorry for the wait.  No it didn't work for me.  My user
name was always overwritten by "". . .  I couldn't figure out why.

I've attached a patch that work for me (it goes on top of Viktor's
patch 148c737ae79f3a98d8e93147c2d0ec0db3a2389a).  It allows for nil
and it gets up-to-date default values by default.  In my book it's a
bit more clean 'cause it doesn't rely on hooks.  It does, introduce a
new helper function to distinguish between a function value (which are
default for the two variables) and a string value (and nil for that
matter).  I don't know if this is undesirable.  It would crash if you
set the variables to a symbol that isn't nil and isn't a function.

It seems to work in mine and Viktor's use-case (to the best of my
testing ability).
