That would be nice. :) Until then you can write a counter into 
hook_preprocess_block()|| and record when they are loaded. After a 
sufficient amount of time using the site and getting crawled you should 
have a few with 0 counts and feel safe deleting them. It's a clumsy 
workaround but the best i can think of off the top of my head. Panels 
custom content for the win!
