I despised Ronald Reagan, and I continue to despise very nearly everything he stood for. While I am not happy he died (per se), and I have mixed feelings for his children (he's dead, but advanced Alzheimers is painful to watch), I would agree to putting Reagan on one of the bills. Only one. The $20.
See, Alex Hamliton was the man who made this country's treasure. Replacing him with the man who very nearly broke it would be even more insultingly ironic than naming an airport after the man who fired the air traffic controllers.
However, the current ugly mug on the double sawbuck is Jackson, the single worst butcher this country ever voted into office. Say what you will about Reagan, but you can't say he committed genocide (though for pure body count, his neglect of AIDS research likely exceeded the Trail of Tears).
Deserved or not, it would be a step up.
The 25 year rule makes good sense though.
