Old Terminal Block Suggestion

Describe the feature
Just wondering if you all could add the old ME system terminal blocks, so you can have your crafting terminal, as a physical block and not just a face, OR if it would be possible if you all could add a block that had the same side texture as the old termianl, so it can be made into a facade and put on to LOOK like an old style me terminal.
Reasons why it should be considered
Nostalgic reasons, decorative reasons. I wouldn't imagine it would be the end of the world to add, I would only assume you could copy the old texture, add a block, and allow it to be crafted into a facade. Maybe a full-sized block could also have other features, such as storing maybe 1-4 ME drives in it, or a crafting terminal also able to act as a pattern terminal. Just things like that.
Additional Context
Thank you!
A terminal block could also allow up to 5 interfaces to interact with it, the same way interface blocks can interact with 5 inventory blocks, while still using a singe channel.
Getting the aesthetic aspect of the old terminal could be achieved by having interface use a full cover part rather than an edge trimmed panel. I've often found it frustrating to require small rod parts or holed covers of the surrounding wall material to have a terminal seamlessly fills the void around the terminal part.
I'd add that the current small panel terminal part force you to use extra NBT data to the tile, for the sake of having the terminal side fully covered edge-to-edge and turn your terminal into a multipart tile rather than an AE2 tile.
