Karl, I can appreciate the desire for this; however there are other techniques currently at your disposal to be able to manage this. What it really comes down to is your method of migrating maintenance to your systems. In our environment, when we clone the SYSRES volume(s) to whichever target environment it is to be used, we also perform a SMPE Zone Copy into a new matching Target zone to match that SYSRES. By doing so, you can easily, and quickly see the particular PTF level or RMID of whatever you are interested in knowing about.
