Anything is possible but the problem is, if we went with a full channel
underneath, it could potentially weaken the metal too much.  We haven't done
enough testing or research on that aspect, but what I can tell you is that it
would be a different die to create and thus adding to the cost of needed a
second manufacturing part.
