Edition statement field

This is my first post to this group, so please excuse any errors in composition.
I very much wish that there was an "Edition" statement field. I mean Field 250 in a MARC record.
It seems a glaring omission not to have this, and it drives me crazy to be without it. I am a cataloging librarian and this is a standard MARC field. Could LT add this, please?

This information is often imported into the "Publication" field, together with the publisher's name. So I guess that's a design choice, not an omission... note that I'm not saying I agree 100% ;-)
