Again at what cost?
Any details regarding my previous questions about time investment etc.

As Loraen mentioned, and I mentioned on the TMO forums, the impact upon the number of spawns per year would be in the single digit range. Likely between 2-5% depending upon the numbers utilized.
I suspect coding such a scheme would be an exceptionally trivial matter, though I am not a coder. FTE shouts and the like have not been implemented for a want of time and the difficulty thereof.
Worst case scenario, I suspect that coding and implementing such a scheme would delay Velious by about, oh a few hours?
EDIT: For reference, Loly did a detailed simulation on the "Variance Simulator" thread on the TMO forums, which you may peruse at your leisure.

The result page will tell you this after a full run;
Single extend checks; 3447, Single extends; 1715, Double extend checks; 0, Double extends; 0, Counts until double extend 10001
Ignore everything but the first two entries.
When you look at the tables displayed it will show you the randomly chosen end window with Xasten's poopsock defeat idea applied to the first half. (I.e. If the window ends in the last 15%, it will roll a d2 and if 2 then it will choose to add a random number of seconds from 1 to a full day)
I think the secondary code is broken, but whatever. If you see what I've messed up on please point it out.
Note, greyed rows are those that extended beyond the normal window.
