 This isn't a bug resolution, it's a prioritization. It's already a lowest priority enhancement - but there are three people in our community (out of how many who are aware of this icon, I don't know) who think it merits improvement.

All I did was reopen a bug that was closed without proper resolution. Feel free to have all the more important conversations you want.
