You could only get smiles if you redesigned the third-prong hole on all North American outlets, and retrofit every house on the continent. Seems like a pretty long walk for that premise, though.
From a strictly putty/screwdriver point of view, these would be SUCH a pain in the ass. On the other hand, when was the last time I had to replace an outlet? Like, once. Maybe twice, and only because our landlord was so cheap that the original 1964 outlets were so crappy that they couldn’t hold plugs anymore. And interior design was the least of our problems…
