I'm not a dev or an EB team member, but I'd suggest posting this in the EB Unofficial Mods Forum and see about implementing these changes. You have a point and some good ideas. Not sure if this is the best place.

Its probably faster than waiting for a patch to EB and if it makes sense they might add the changes to EB later. I think I read in the 1.1 release thread that they weren't planning to release any new patches to EB except for bug fixes since they're busy with EB2.
