I did the same years ago, the only difference is that I gave the neutrals a value of '0'. While I agree that there shouldn't be a penalty for sinking them I also believe that I shouldn't be rewarded, and that they shouldn't indiscriminately be fair game. That makes it too easy for me to just sink anything I feel like.
Just my personal foible.
