I feel the term "repugnant conclusion" is unfair, and biases people against accepting the said "repugnant conclusion", regardless of whether or not the "repugnant conclusion" is, in fact, something one might want to accept. Maybe you could instead call the "repugnant conclusion" something like "the happiness-sharing principle", if you wanted more people to accept it.
I feel that the fact that people are presented with the repugnant conclusion only in the context of the mere addition paradox (whereas adding happy people and redistributing utility are often presented on their own) is unfair ^_^
