Make 960 Universal

we all know that 960 is only available when standard chess.but why should it only be standard 960?

so a suggestion here:when 1 variant have a row of pawn on 2nd row and the 1st line of all is full of pieces,make 960 available to randomly change the pieces line.(2P chess)

or,when a line or column is full of pawn,and full of pieces behind them,960 might also useful.

just like paradigm 30 with a custom opening,just make 960 more "custom"

in pychess,there's Racing kings 960(or 1440) and horde 960.why not adding custom 960 in chess.com?

I'm not a dev or anything, but here's my assumption:

960 and Paradigm30 use positions that have been saved into the database, and every time you click on 960, it pulls out a random position to use. This isn't possible in custom variants because the server doesn't have every possible position in the database.

not a dev, but a beginner programmer(was assigned by school)+bad variant creator

First thing: It can't use a file/rank based system because pieces can be placed anywhere on the board and have to be switched differently.

Second: We have only one dev who hard carries this entire server, and he can't do everything the community wants like minor suggestions or extremely large or huge suggestions

though the idea is intriguing 960 has to be balanced and tested even more compared to other variants
