he probably has better things to care about i'd think. There is literally no reason to not quantize Q8_0 like this though if you're releasing a Q8_0 version of a model

This isn't a new quantization format though its just an alternate way to quantize Q8_0 that is very slightly better so I might just make an issue on github and show this to the devs and they can decide if/how they want to implement it.
