We had a recommendation in one of my previous companies to replace all TODO's with XXX. Their rationale was that the TODO tags sounded like an unfinished product to the customers. So they wanted to replace all those TODO labels with XXX so that the customers wouldn't find them when grepping. Even if they find a XXX label while reading the source they wouldn't have any clue as to what it is.
