It would cost a variable fortune to redesign completely such a small aspect of a much larger picture. It would essentially be like recoloring the faded sun in a painting of a magnitude reminiscent of the Milky Way.

Here you say there are significant gains to be had. I'm wondering how big the potential gains are? And what the solutions might look like? And why in the last 100 years (plenty of time for a few cycles of clean sheet designs to come and go) they aren't here?
