I like the idea, and it would work best with scripted generation of footprints. On a side note, you can fake these pads by overlapping several pads with the same pad number. It's the most elegant solution, but it generally works, and it's quicker than waiting for the feature. I'm looking at the datasheet right now, and the WDFN doesn't seem too hard to draw (actually, 6 rectangular pads would complete the drain). I'll ping Oyvind (he wrote awesome scripts to generate a ton of very useful footprints) to see if it can be added to his library (it's not in kicad yet, but I suspect it will make it by the next kicad release).
