I'm not keen to introduce it immediately because things are in a state of flux right now and I think it's best to let the dust settle. Patch users are probably deciding on their perfect combo of header on/off, footer on/off and how tall they should be. I don't want to add even more confusion.

If there are a lot of people asking for this feature I'll consider adding it sooner but otherwise ask me again at the next firmware release and when you've decided whether you really would use it. Ongoing maintenance of patches that you suspect nobody uses is a PITA.
I would use it. I have my footer size small. I'm using firmware 4.7.x right now. Sometime this week when I get a chance to go over the patches and decide which ones I want, I'll then update the firmware and apply the patches.
