Thankfully, there is a very easy hack (remote code) to reprogram your quick-skip button to skip forward in whatever increment you want.

Also, if you use ReplayTV (for however much longer they're actually around), the Show|Nav feature forwards through the whole commercial segment like chapters in a DVD.

A good thought on FX's part, but not completely worthwhile. Why not try engaging viewers a little more rather than trying to outwit them?
