I am not going to say whether it makes sense to add this feature or not,
but I'll just react to "Previously".

Let's stop saying "Previously we couldn't do X, now we can".

Instead, let's consistently say "We don't do X. Being able to do X is a
good thing for such and such reasons. Make us capable of doing X by
doing this and that."

Some people even say "Currently we cannot do X. Teach us to do so",
which is equally bad but that is primarily because some people say
"Previously" and they feel the need to clarify which reality they are
talking about. Once we stop saying "Previously", they will stop saying
"Currently", and the world would be a better place ;-).

Thanks.
