Suggested improvement to Drive menu regarding Exposure Bracketing

Whilst it is easy to select Exposure Bracketing in the Drive mode by allocation of a Function button, it is currently far harder to revert to Single Frame shooting (or whatever the user was in beforehand). These two options appear at the opposite ends of the Drive menu, so the user has to scroll right through to locate Single frame. The same situation exists for the SL3 and Q2 menus, the SL3 has far more options than M11. 

 

I have written to Leica requesting that they consider making 2 changes to make the situation better for the user like myself who predominantly uses Single frame drive with occasional use of Exposure Bracketing where the brightness range is large. 

 

1. Make the Drive mode menu a carousel, so that by scrolling the other way, the above two modes are next to each other. If that's not possible add another Single frame option next to the Exposure Bracketing. 
2. Make the selection of Exposure Bracketing mode through the use of a Function button a toggle action, so that pressing it again reverts to Single frame mode (or whatever was selected beforehand)

If other users feel this is a good idea, then please can you take time time to email Leica as per the website to make the same request?

Thanks no thanks the current menu suits me well but pending Leica's answer you may wish to allocate single frame and/or exposure bracketing to user profiles if needed. FWIW.
