I can't really say I like it. If people don't want to fill it in -which is their perfectly good right- then it is just a big wasted space. It blows the persons picture and user name out of proportion.. I don't think this change is really for the better because it forces people to either add information they don't want to share (because if they did, they would've added it somewhere and thus there would be no need for the big bow we got now) or to have an ugly, large, empty banner at the top of their page :-/

The idea behind it was good, but maybe it was better if it could be optional, so the user could choose whether or not to keep and use the banner.
