The extractor control unit requires a lot of CPU/PG even without any extractor. In my case i usually do not use all of the 10 places for extractors. Imho it would be useful to have extractor control units of various size with a penalty for smaller ones.
Here is an example:

Actual extractor control unit:
10 Extractors CPU 400 PG 2600

This would be the large extractor control unit and then supplemented by either

only a small one:
4 Extractors CPU 200 PG 1400

or a medium and a small one:
7 Extractors CPU 300 PG 2100
3 Extractors CPU 200 PG 1100

As you see, the variations with less max. extractorheads has higher CPU/PG per head as the current one, but will give you much more flexibility for the design of your PI.

Additionally this enhancement has:
-no effect on actual PI-installations, so no work has to be done here
-imho low costs on programming, since the original PI-logic is the same

I hope you like this Idea
