Why logic can't send post pan audio to buses with CoreAudio?

Question

Hi,
The "post Pan" send option is only for TDM users…
Routing a track to a bus, then to an Aux track in order to obtain a post pan send is really anoying :

This issue turns the mix in logic into a complex thing.
How are you dealing with this?
Is there any technical reason to restrict this function to TDM-users only?
Thanks for your help.

This doesn't really help in all situations. For example in case of paralell drum compression: because sometimes it is necessary to send less cymbals or less toms etc (lower volume)... to the "wet" (compressed) BUS than you send (Output) to the "dry" BUS. This is because the tracks are very often compressed themselves and very often you just have Snare Bottom and Top Mic tracks, Inside&Outside Kick Tracks etc. and sometimes some of these are compressed heavily already and you do not want to send them to "paralell" BUS so loud as to "dry" BUS to have the best "fattening" result.
And because Direction Mixer overrides the PAN LAw, giving us the POST PAN option for sends is the only really "PRO" solution.
