Map Pack "2"s?

I love the Map Packs and appreciate the variety of themes that are out there. I'm curious, though, if there is any interest in seeing Paizo revisit and expand on some of the themes they've already created Map Packs for... Basically a "2" series.

For example, for a lot of the standards, Paizo have a nice combo thing going - Cave Chambers/Cave Tunnels, Dungeon Rooms/Dungeon Corridors, Starship Chambers/Starship Corridors, etc. [I'd like to see a few more of these pairs rounded out - Forest Trails (existing) + a new "Forest Clearings," March Trails (existing) + a new "March Clearings," Sea Caves (existing, and more accurately "Sea Cave Tunnels") + a new "Sea Caves Chambers."] But in all the above examples, the tunnels/corridors/trails are all 10' wide. I know, it's the standards, it's a good place to start, but would anyone else like to see "Cave Tunnels 2" with extra wide tunnels and some funky twists? Or "Dungeon Corridors 2" with wide corridors and some more unusual options? Maybe a Cave/Dungeon transition, or an entrance to Forest?

I could easily see:
• Cave Chambers/Cave Tunnels 2
• Dungeon Rooms/Dungeon Corridors 2
• Forest Trails 2 with more interesting variations on the theme
• Urban Sites 2 with more shops, a burned down building, a park, a construction site, an execution block, a cafe, a bank, a bulletin board, a flooded street, etc.
• River System 2 with wider rivers and different angles of turns, shallow, swamp transitions
• Road System 2 with wider roads, some dirt roads, a road-to-city transition
• Evil Ruins 2 (or maybe just call it "Ruins") with some more generic ruins filler to use by itself as stand-alone ruins or to go between the existing "evil" locales
• Ice Caverns 2 with larger chambers and weird pools and lairs
• Jungle Paths/Jungle Clearings 2 that connect to Lost Island and maybe the old Jungle set from 2014 (the styles of Lost Island and Jungle are pretty different, though)
• Desert Paths/Desert Features with some all-sand cars, but also partially buried structures and rocky outcroppings and sink holes
• I know it's not even out yet, but I can imagine a "Perilous Perches" with extra wide ledges or tiers with ledges and hiding spots above other ledges and PCs have to scale cliff faces to get to enemies, or ledges on opposite sides of a gorge (but a real WIDE gorge, not a 10' crack), big bird nests, a small watchtower overlooking a valley below

The other think I really appreciate is when Map Packs play well with Flip-Mats. Like when you have a fairly bland open space on a Flip-Mat but can add features with the Map Packs (like the Shops/City Streets pairing, or Crypts/Necropolis pairing). Or when Map Packs can be use to extend the map off a Flip-Mat. For example, if the edges of the Lost City Flip-Mat blended into the jungle of the Lost Coast, that would be brilliant!

Some of these are already happening, I think there are now two shops packs.

The biggest improvement I'd like to see is to have the title of the map pack on the top of the box. Right now I'm thinking of buying a label printer just to do this. But when I have all of the Map packs standing up in a filing cabinate, I have to take them all out to find the one I need.
