Comment (by borysiasty):

 -1 ! As long the default project CRS is WGS84, it would be very confusing.
 My proposition is to get rid of the unit selector and automatically keep
 units appropriate to the project CRS (if only we can determine feet
 systems from epsg db, can we?). Note that it's implemented to a certain
 degree - if you change the project CRS when the OTFR is enabled, the units
 selector switches automagically. But if OTFR is disabled, it doesn't.

 Then the project CRS, not just the unit, should be more flexible
 (configureable by user and/or set by the first layer added to a empty
 project etc.)
