How about replacing "utility" by "helpfulness"?

[Andrey Novikov, 2012/10/18 15:51:29]

It's synonym and it's shorter, that's why I have chosen it.

[Wladimir Palant, 2012/10/19 10:26:06]

I don't think that "utility" is a synonym for "helpfulness" - only roughly and
in one of a dozen possible meanings. It's very non-obvious what you mean by it.
You should use a better term, regardless of length.
