I don't feel this way, but apparently the sentiment is that it's less safe and insular (read: special) for college students now that mom and the boss can join. Your lovely treatise will be the first place I'll direct them to convince them otherwise. That said, could we see backlash as facebook leaves the long-tail niche market of college students? I'm worried that the coolness factor is rapidly declining.
