Opening Explorer feature idea: avg rating points gain/loss

I've been using Lichess's excellent opening explorer (thank you, Thibault) to try to learn some good Crazyhouse openings. It gives the win/loss ratios each position which is very, very useful for telling at a glance how strong a move is likely to be.

However, some openings might be biased because for whatever reason one side is likely to be much higher rated than the other (maybe two specific players played a long series of games with the opening, or maybe it's an opening only common above a certain rating threshold, etc.) which might bias the win/loss ratio.

I thought it might be useful to also have the information of whether White or Black gained on average more rating points starting from a given position, to counter the rating difference bias. What do you guys think?
