When will we see support for 14 bits in RSP2?

From what I can see both the RSP1A and RSP2 uses the same chip MSi3101 (MSi001+MSi2500) the MSi001 is the tuner and the MSi2500 is the digital interface and ADC. I have read the data sheet and the sampling resolution & stream format is user selectable:

1) 8 bit (504_S8) Max 12.096 MHz
2) 8 bit (504_S16) Max 12.096 MHz
3) 10+2 bit (384_S16) Max 9.216 MHz
4) 12 bit (336_S16) Max 8.064 MHz
5) 14 bit (252_S16) Max 6.048 MHz

So why is there no support in the SDRuno for the 14 bit mode in the RSP2?

Don't quote me, but I think that in order to be able to free-up the extra bits, a small hardware change was necessary.
