Would like to see: Better use of HA status light

I have always been curious why Fortinet did not make better use of the HA status light on these appliances. Most HA devices (Cisco/Juniper/etc) use this light to not only indicate that HA status, but which unit is active. Generally standby unit is " amber" and active unit is " green" . So far I have only seen the HA light on FGT change to amber when the other unit is down. Under normal circumstances you cannot tell which unit is active by observing the LEDs on the front of the unit. I would propose that this LED is changed to the following - " green" is active, " amber" is standby, " red" means HA problem, " off" when HA not enabled. I have no idea if the LED is actually capable of this of course, but if not I think it would be really cool to see this on newer units.
