Back to the wanting of all 16 channels to be 'opened up', that would break a lot of functionality. Some don't think all 16 are in use because they don't realize some are reserved for harmony and individual guitar strings. Right or wrong, that's how it was designed.

Rather, the approach I would like to see is to open up a second bank. MIDI supports two banks of 16. This could still be backward compatible.
