Why not keeping them on assembly (hidden)? Silk is way too busy and with
too small resolution... in fact it usually can't hold the refdes, either :D
Good idea - so values could stay on Fab but I'd hide them and add %R on the Fab. If somebody prefers values it's easy to change (find and replace on kicad_pcb). It's also easy to force printing hidden text so in bigger footprints the Fab layer could contain both values and references.
Sorry for posting here, I've tried on https://launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers and got only two opinions.
