Banner ads within a channel package

In another thread about banner ads, RokuKevin said:

SetAdUrl currently requires external urls. We don't want to encourage storing ad images in packages....

Is there any chance of getting this restriction lifted? I'm thinking of the case where there's a banner ad in a "lite" channel that launches the Channel Store to purchase the full version. It seems silly to require the banner, which will never change, to be on a server someplace.

Re: Banner ads within a channel package

Considering how much of channel space is taken up by images, I hope that one day they find a way to automatically put pointers to images that were in the packages to a hosted roku channel space... cutting down the size of channels.

The space requirement of storing ads in channels is the reason for the requirement for it to be an external url.
