I don't see how "blame" or "praise" even hint about what the command does, but "blame" is especially bad, since it encourages the "moron" project practice you describe. Really, willing to know the name of the creator in order to flame him is pretty lame in the high quality projects. Instead, learning about the other changeset info like summary, date and the revision number may actually help to discover the reasons for this "bogus" code.
