Unfortunately, the problem is that even if IBM were to provide this
capability, the likelihood is that the overwhelming majority of customers
wouldn't use it.  Even in the example you cited, if this were available
tomorrow, I would bet that there would be no project on the schedule to
begin exploiting the feature and the customer would continue to run 800
regions.
