Not only that, removing the outer layer power and ground traces would allow many of the tracks to be repositioned more spaciously, grouped better, and eliminate a lot of crosstalk.
Sounds like you just invented a useful product to develop that other QL users would want. :)

Tetroid's already done that - just needs to pay the little extra to make it a 4-layer board. 98% of the effort is just in reproducing what he's already done. If I were going to invest that amount of effort I'd just finish Issue 8. :P
