Yes, I can see attraction of something like that.  Russ' implementation
is based on scanning frequency, while the Mark Plaksin's is based more
on the number of articles in the group, and Ted's is based on not
showing the details of how many articles there are unread.

So we seem to have at least three different approaches to the same
idea.  It could be that this is the sort of thing that's difficult to
provide, but requires that people just write their own variations to fit
their own needs.
