As far as I understand the code, clients choose exit relays based on their exit 
policies, not the exit flag.
The exit flag is used for bandwidth weight load-balancing and logging during 
bootstrap, but that's about all.

So I'm not sure this proposal will have any effect on the Tor network, apart 
from perhaps a minor social effect if people are seeking flags for their 
relays. (Nor will it have much effect on policy, except, again, for a minor 
social effect.)
