Strava Live Segments improvements!

I was wondering if there are any future updates to the amount of segments synced to be increased from the current limit of 200. I know 200 is a lot, but there are some people who "star" a very large amount of segments on their Strava account (mine is over 1000, and I know many people similar to this) which we keep track of for many purposes outside of our Hammerhead Karoo2. For example I live half of every year in 2 different countries, and travel a lot. I keep many segments starred in places I travel to and the 2 home countries I live in.
If I had to "un-star" hundreds of segments on my Strava account, just so I could fit the 200 I want synced onto my Karoo2, not only would it be highly time consuming, but it would be hampering my other uses of Strava Segments outside of my Hammerhead usage, thats unfair that I'd have to make such changes to my Strava routine, just to make things work with the Karoo2.
What about being able to curate my segment list on the Hammerhead dashboard, which is much easier to manage a list of so many items, than on the small device itself (which also is unable to display the full name of longer-named segments too!)
Perhaps you could make some tab on the Dashboard that could "see" all 1000+ of my Strava segments, and then I can pick which of the 200 get sent to my Karoo2. Also you could increase the limit up to 500 or more to make things doubly easier.
I still keep my old Garmin Edge 1030 because it's the better solution for me at the moment, if I go on a ride with interest of chasing a Strava segment PR. But please, I love and prefer my Karoo2, help fix this issue to give me a reason to prefer my Karoo2 in this situation!!
One more thing- Strava allows us to set a "goal" time for segments. The goal time syncs with Garmin, and it's much more useful for me than the wolf and carrot icons that you guys offer. I don't personally care too much about who on my friends list is the next closest time on a segment.
The most important times on segments are always: KOM, PR, Goal. Please find a way to implement the goal time set from Strava as well! This makes the entire SLS feature SO much more useful for training purposes!

  Strava needs to change the system for saved segments to be like routes.  Saved one thing, starred (pushed to device) another.  They probably receive dozens of requests a day for this, for years ... still done nothing though.

  Oh wow, I never knew there was a limit! And there I was wondering why my Live Segments were behaving erratically on the Karoo... Big +1 on the request.
