As you Americans probably can't even decide whether to use feet or inches,
obviously it should be metric :P

But no kidding actually: what kind of size system would *you* prefer to code
your scenes in - one in which you can easily compute the next bigger or smaller
scales by just moving around the decimal point, or one where you have to
multiply/divide by 12, 3, and 1760, respectively?

.... I mean, if it wasn't for the sake of local tradition of the country you
happen to have grown up in.
