As you probably know, this is a rules issue that falls under the remit of the Poker Room Management team. It's not something that either I or FTP Michael J can discuss thoroughly outside of receiving input from PRM.
I understand that the subject came up during the FT merger/migration planning process, was discussed and ultimately decided against because it would have given migrating players an unfair advantage over the rest of the PS player base.
That doesn't mean it would not happen outside of the migration exercise for all players (doesn't mean that it will either...
).
I will pass along your comments to the PRM team (although they are generally aware of the interest, as a number of players have asked about it over the last few months). If PRM have any news on that front, I will let you know.
