You're welcome to file a feature request for this, but I have a
feeling it will be closed. xinput is older than Arch itself, and
you're the first one to bring it up. I recommend you follow the proper
procedure for this - vote it up, wait for it to go to community. Once
it's popular enough to be in community, we can possibly move it to
extra.
