Layout & Drafting: What's the plan?

These are all very welcome features! However, my absolute favourite (because I literally need it many times each and every workday) is this problem with Model space layers ruining Layouts:

The ‘SafeLayout’ script helps, and it would be a nightmare without, but there are still quirks.
So, it would be really appreciated if you would tackle this, too, for R8!

Some more things to consider regarding this:
There are obviously 3 different types of LayerStates. For Model, Layout and Detail space. However, Layout and Detail LayerStates are ‘compatible’, but not Model space LayerStates.
First, this is not something that is pretty obvious.
Second, it would actually help if there was just one type of LayerState, that works in all ‘spaces’.
Only recently I discovered this filter function…

… which somewhat helps in not getting crazy with too many columns in the Layer panel. Maybe this is kind of the ‘default’ - just show the layer toggles that are ‘native’ to the space that is active (model, layout, detail).
It could be so much simpler!
We debated the topic in depth in the other thread. Do you have any plans to share regarding this?

Thanks a lot!
