I voted it depends. Remember you can only really see the face if it is sort of pointed in your direction. Butt shots generally do not show faces anyway.
I don't like to make a lot of rules as to what is downloadable and what is not. The value of a typical pic to me is sort of dependent more or less equally on three components: 33% goes to the face. 33% goes to what is going on in the background. 33% goes to the body (not just the quality but what that body is doing).
Faces can be uninteresting and generic. Or they may be interesting, but not photographed well. Any given pic may hold more interest to me elsewhere. Artistic nude photographers frequently crop out the face, or part of it.
But really, faceless pics are in a definate minority in my collection. As I said in the Fremont close up thread, I couldn't stand a steady diet of them. Under ordinary circumstances, a nice, appealing face should not be cropped out of a pic.
