Why is CSF not showing the amount of Allowed IPs?

Hello chirpy!
This is a thing I wanted to ask since several YEARS ago, and never found a bit of time to come here to the forum. Really.
When you have Denied IPs, the UI shows something like "Edit csf.deny, the IP address deny file (Currently: 86 permanent IP bans)". That's cool in order to know how the denied IP list is growing. But, what about the white list? It doesn't show the amount of whitelisted IPs...
Why would that be useful?
When it comes to configure several servers in a row, you probably have to whitelist different amounts of IPs, depending of the external services that need to have full access to the server. If CSF could show how many whitelisted IPs are in there, one could save a bit of clicks and time, and hassle, by seeing if something is missed --by comparing numeric values. It would be a productivity saver!
If there is a good reason to not showing the Allowed amount of IP addresses, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope you can take this into consideration as a feature request to improve your UI usability.
Best regards!
