I'll wager they haven't done it because no one has asked/there hasn't been demand... it has nothing to do with stepping on toes, we've done plenty of overflow posts in the past.
Plurk is not generally an official channel to get mods' attention. While they will answer if they happen to see it or get directly asked, many people on Plurk have upwards of 50+ people on their timeline... it's very easy for things to get lost, especially if one isn't pinged, and mods are not on Plurk to field everyone's every comment or though. Additionally, not everyone deals with lag. Personally, I haven't noticed the slightest bit of lag on the post, and I frequently skim plurks/don't read comments... if I hadn't seen this post, I wouldn't have known!
For future reference, the most effective way to "get things done" is contact the moderators directly, regardless of what the concern is. Email, AIM, pinging them on plurk, PM, etc. Doing that isn't poking or pestering them, it's making them aware of a concern and asking them to address it. You would not be out of line by doing that. :)
