Expose CiviCRM Profile Data to Merge Fields

If CiviCRM is installed and in use on a site, it provides profile data such as First Name, Last Name, etc. to Drupal. However, Mailchimp lists cannot merge these fields requiring a second set of user fields in order to provide additional data to your list.

It obviously doesn't make much sense to have a user field for first name as well as a CiviCrm field for first name.

I would love to see the ability for Mailchimp to access CiviCRM data as merge fields. Thanks!
