This has been brought up before and I happen to agree with you, but inevitably some of the purists will get mad at you for posting a meta-post and they will tell you to use the feature request section (at the bottom of the page) for this kind of things.

Just so you know.

Huh, I did not know that.

I'm a little sceptical that anyone would notice new replies added to a post made "835 days ago", but as you point out, that's where feature requests are supposed to go, so I guess I'll add my two cents there.

Thanks!

EDIT: Upon closer inspection, it seems the Feature Requests story is no longer accepting replies. However, it seems my suggestion was made nearly a year ago:

...and again 82 days ago:

Oh well.

I sparked a discussion about it somewhere in between those two:

I suppose purists should vote up these previous requests for a visual footer:
