Reading filters?

I really like (although I know some people find the adjustment difficult) the distinction between people you read, and people you want to have access, because that is how I have always thought of friending on lju anyway, and the unfortunate conjunction was just something I had to hack around.

BUT: some of my filters on lj were reading filters so that I could have separate pages, not because I distinguish between the people who I friend, and the people I actually read, just because sometimes I wanted to catch up on my friends, and sometimes I wanted to catch up on communities, and sometimes I wanted to catch up on syndicated feeds. Like, for example, you can go to http://brown-betty.livejournal.com/friends/communities and see just the communities I'm subscribed to. (I believe.)

Is that no longer possible on DW?

Is there any kind of timetable for when this will be fixed? The automatic filters help (though you can't set one as your default for your reading page), but I'm still freaking out in a mildly OCD way that I can't have it exactly the way that I want it. :D ;)

This will be fixed before the full launch of the site; if you're so inclined, the official bug entry for it is here, and you can check it out/lurk/try your hand at writing a patch: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166
