Based on what "theymos" mentioned before [couldn't find that exact post], making small changes require tweaks in larger scales in order to ensure everything works properly and since this suggestion isn't solving an ongoing issue, I can't see this getting implemented anytime soon...
Is it what you can not find?
Sorry for the wait, when I went to implement this it ended up being quite a bit more of a can of worms than I originally thought because of opting out, preventing certain report-count-padding strategies, etc. It's still on my to-do list, but there are several things above it.
I opened my thread last year so I realized I was wrong to ask it.
