I'm not sure if I understand. Are you asking for 1/100 inch support in the GUI? Internally Writer will surely not be changed to support anything else than twips or 1/100mm.
But you shouldn't underestimate the effort to support an additional metrics system. You have to write some code (or more a lot of), create new test cases and execute them, write new help content and more. I doubt that this will happen just to add support for another non-standard metrics system.
