There were no such plans so far.

I don't particularly like this super_read_only option because 1) there
are too many command line options already, adding a new option for every
slight variation of the same feature doesn't help much; and 2) read_only
and super_read_only aren't independent, not all four combinations of
values make sense, and they interact in a weird way:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_read_only

If I'd have a choice, I'd prefer something like --read-only=MODE.  And
MODE can used to allow slave thread and super (old read_only), only
slave thread (super_read_only), or, may be, in the future, not even
slave thread, disable analyze/optimize, or whatever else one might want
to have there.

Regards,
Sergei
