Playing the first-level module "Murder's Mark" in home-game mode for PFS (Like Dragon's Demand)

Is there any way the design team would consider letting us run Murder's Mark as a regular homegame-style module (Granting XP and leveling up to level 2), and then assigning the module credit to a new first-level PFS PC, similar to the way the credit from Dragon's Demand can be applied?

For those that aren't familiar, you can play through all of Dragon's Demand as a regular homegame (and not need to follow PFS rules), and then once completed, you get a series of Chronicle Sheets that you may apply to a PFS character. I'm wondering if the Design Team would consider letting us do that with Murder's Mark, so that the PCs can level up to 2 during the module in order to better deal with the later threats, and also so that it would give our regular PFS players that aren't fortunate enough to play in a home game to try different concepts, like playing a ratfolk or anything else that would normally not be allowed in PFS, but to still get PFS credit for the experience.

I think it's unlikely; there used to be a way to play short modules with non-PFS PCs (actually PFS PCs levelled up/down to the right tier specifically for that module) and it was abolished.

The homegame or campaign mode was brought in as a compromise to allow long adventures that had no hope of fitting into the standard PFS advancement to be sanctioned for PFS play. Given that short modules more-or-less fit anyway, I doubt they'd see any reason to open things up further.

Murder's mark, specifically, can be run like a scenario that just happens to give 3xp if you don't let the characters dawdle for too long.

Express train, level two. Aaaaaal aboard!

Ilsurian (the town the carnival is visiting) got detailed further in Towns of the Inner Sea and I was thinking of fleshing the module out further by including a bit more of the town based on the info in TotIS. I know it can be run as an Express Train but I was hoping to avoid that, and one solution I thought of was running it in campaign mode and fleshing it out somewhat, but still allowing the players to get PFS Credit for it.
