What SH was meaning (I think) was that it would be nice if I could have requested an upgrade to my T+ fare now..outside of my window but have it "stored" so that the system automatically requested it for me 96 hours before departure.
The problem with that is if a lot of people are doing this, do they just create yet another pre-upgrade waitlist? What about the pecking order within that pre-upgrade waitlist then? Time? Status? Booking class?

See it gets more complicated as you think it over - and it's already complicated enough.
