It already is, in a sense. The 'standard' tools to be had on a certain blog will not remove library/time-limited Kindle DRM:

"In concordance with our site policy of not endorsing or supporting piracy, the tools cannot remove DRM from “rented” or “time limited” Kindle ebooks. Time limiting media via DRM is one of the only legitimate reasons we can see for actually using DRM. So If you want to remove the DRM from a Kindle ebook, please buy your own copy first. Renting it is not sufficient as you do not actually own the rented ebook."

I'm cool with that as well.
