Is that a good thing or a bad thing? :-)

If your only requirement is to find people with "experience" in your 
chosen language, that's a good thing.  If you want people who can 
actually do what you need, it may or may not be - it may only increase 
the 'chaff' you need to sort thru to find the 'wheat' you're looking for.

It can also be a good thing if you want to entice people who's primary 
motivation is to add "good" things to their resume (I'm not sure if this 
is good or bad, they're just as likely to leave when something even 
better comes up).
