AFM Disable

Would it be possible to get a software update that would allow the A6/A8 not to enter AFM/V4 mode in at least the sport setting for Stringrays?

I like this question. A8 should have no AFM in Sport and Track minimally. I would personally prefer it was relegated to Eco/Weather only.

Maybe also determine if the four cylinders that are deactivated during AFM are set up differently physically, which would explain why the same four are always deactivated, rather than on a rotation basis among all 8. It would seem better in the long term to distribute the wear otherwise.
