Separate ratings for each time control

I have a suggestion regarding the ratings on this site, maybe there should be ratings for each specific time control. That way you know who's good at 10 minute, 5 minute, 3 minute, 2 minute and so on. I am not, however, suggesting the abolition of the current system (separate ratings for blitz, bullet, and rapid). These can simply be done in addition to the current ratings, so after you win let's say a 10 minute game, both your 10 minute and your blitz rating would change. Some might say this is useless but I really like the idea of being able to tell which time control you or another person is good at. In addition, the way it is currently set up 10 minute and 3 minute chess gives the exact same number of points in the same category, even though not only is the pace of the two completely different but also it takes much more time to win a 10 minute game. In time Stats could also be added for the different time controls. So what do you guys think? If you like this idea comment below, and I can't wait to hear what the admins think about this suggestion.

I think there are already more than enough ratings. Yes, there are differences between 3 2 and 10 0 but you already have 10 separate ratings, not counting the tactics and lessons "ratings".

Would 20 ratings be enough? 30? Where would it stop?

It might be interesting to be able to sort and query one's archive by time control but there is no need for separate time controls for each permutation of the time control.
