Neck weight as standard information?

I'm new to the forum, and I'm pretty sure something like this would have been discussed before, but I can't find it.  Here goes anyway.  Would it be possible/desirable to list the weight of a neck in the "shop in stock" area as a standard spec?  Specifically for the bass area.  I'm sure some of the guitar guys are interested as well, but a bass guy slings around a bit more neck wood.  Being neck heavy can be a concern, and knowing up front that spec for various necks could help the decision process, at least for me.
 
I can't think of any reason that knowing the weight would be useful. There is not a lot of difference between heavy and light necks, so most people don't factor it into their plans.
 
I dunno, Joseph, if I have a really light body I might find it worthwhile to know a neck's weight before I get it, just on the off chance neckdive might turn out to be an issue.  This isn't likely to be a major consideration for most buyers, but if the information is cheap to get, might as well just grab it.  Might even turn out to be one more way for Warmoth to turn a buck:  Extra Heavy/Extra Light necks for folks who convince themselves that the neck weight matters.
