When everyone and their mom become "experienced" forum users almost immediately, what you really mean by this is that they are regular forum users that shouldn't warrant any particular credentials. Not to mention it's a mouthful and precedes more important roles such as Site Admin:

I don't think this information needs to be visible there at all. It serves no meaningful purpose at best, and is misguiding at worst.

It would be a lot more logical to mark users without the EFU role as "Newcomer" instead until they fulfill the requirement for EFU. If only because those aren't regular, and that may be relevant for others to know—at least in theory.
