As far as I am concerned, hedonism is an approximate description of some of my preferences. Hedonism is a utility function close to, but not equal to mine. I see no reason why a FAI should contain a special term for hedonism. Just maximize preferences, anything else is strictly worse, but not necessarily that bad.
I do agree that there are many futures we would consider valuable. Our utility function is not a single sharp spike.
