This has been discussed recently of the ML. At that time, many
developers didn't like the idea of Unicode bullets. I still don't.

If I understand it correctly, `org-list-full-item-re' wouldn't be set
for users not going through the Customize interface. If that's true, it
would be bad.

If you really want to beautify your Org files, you may, instead,
implement a minor mode adding customizable Unicode characters as
overlays on every bullet in the buffer. I bet some users would
appreciate it.
