Insert feature parameters for hole feature

I have a question about the callouts created from feature parameters in NX 5.0.5 and NX 6. I have a threaded hole that goes all the way through a part. When I insert the feature parameters in drafting, there are two threaded hole choices in the list. One that has the hole icon next to it, the other has a thread icon next to it. When I use the hole icon, the callout is the hole diameter followed by THRU. When I use the thread icon feature parameter the callout is the thread size followed by thread class followed by depth symbol and the depth value. Why doesn't this callout just say THRU as well?

John may be able to answer from a software perspective, but from drafting standpoint what you want seems reasonable. However from a machine shop viewpoint for a threaded hole it is kind of nice to know how long your taps need to be, but probably more important to know which are and are not blind holes.
