Are there any specific usecases you need to unload ramoops?
For me, it would be useful during development. Beyond that, not that I can see.
Thank you for your quick relay. I understood this is useful for you.
But, as Tony said, I think this is a low priority because
there is a side effect for end users.
If they unload ramoops by mistake, messages will be lost.
In my opinion, we have to consider whether each feature
is truly needed for end users (not for developers).

First of all ramoops was born mainly for debug purpose and to help the
maintainability of a product. I used it in systems where the uptime (so
no reboot) was important. So it can be very useful for me load the
module, gather logs and unload it for example. A kernel panic is not
recoverable so the reboot is needed but it's not always true for a
kernel oops.
