Blitz time controls ... 3 1

Hi, I'm wondering why the time control 3 1 (ie, three minutes with 1 second increments) isn't one of the selectable blitz time controls when you create a game. In my opinion it is the closest equivalent to the otb Fide standard 3 2 (because, depending on one's dexterity and experience, it takes around a second longer to physically make a move otb and premoving isn't possible). I'm currently trying to train for a big 3 2 otb tournament but it's hard to get games at 3 1 (because few people manually enter those parameters). What do you think?
Quite agreed
Run along and post this in the ‘General Discussion’ section
Or 50 press-ups
Surely this is me asking for a "feature" on lichess and therefore the correct forum?
