Not all maps in previous FDCs have been that hard, but if they're going to be like the last two, I probably would. Also, if the contest is promoted with this information (as a news item on Doomworld, for example), people that haven't participated may be inclined to try their luck, more likely in the easier category.
In #9, I accidentally recorded in HMP due to a command line error, and ended with a time that was slower than some of the UV demos, and the difficulty difference wasn't trivial.
At least it's worth trying, I think, and if it doesn't catch on, it can be dropped. The mapper would only need to make sure the level has difficulty settings, which is generally a good idea and proper mapping etiquette, anyway.
This would even give room to make some of the hard maps even harder, with a proper warning, as people could choose the easier difficulty if they don't have the slaughtering power of TimeOfDeath, Heretic or Belial and the like.
