Plans to disable wireless BH SSID broadcast?

Minor annoyance that the wireless backhaul SSID continues to be broadcast.  Is Netgear planning to make this hidden? I know that's not solving anything from a security perspective, as there are ways to discover hidden SSIDs.  Simply a cleanup/cosmetic issue really.  I already have 3 separate SSIDs visible (main/IoT/guest), plus one or two of my neighbors sometimes.
