Sure, there's no way to ban it, that would be silly. But, I think the documentation should not use it.
We don't normally say "r-strings" or "u-strings" when talking about them, it's not very accurate. The letter they use isn't their important quality.
Also, avoiding the f- takes the spotlight off the part where f stands for words besides format. ;)
