Why do ValidateIOSReceiptRequest and ValidateGooglePlayPurchaseRequest not contain a property for the catalog version?

We have multiple catalogs in our game and just figured out that all real money transactions always granting the items from the DEFAULT catalog as ValidateIOSReceiptRequest and ValidateGooglePlayPurchaseRequest do not contain a property for the catalog version.

Why is such an essential property not part of these methods but it's contained in ValidateAmazonReceiptRequest for example?

I really would like see the catalog version on both of the validate requests. Can I expect that these will be added soon?

Side note: The design of the catalog system is that all the items for the game economy should be in a single Catalog - hence, the reason it's "CatalogVersion" and not "CatalogID". Stores are a way to then sub-divide the items into logical groupings, for distinct player views (and to override what players get back from the service based upon user segmentation or A/B testing). Using multiple Catalogs as all "live" at the same time for the title is specifically not recommended.

We only use a second catalog if we have a major release and something drastically changed for a lot of items. We have two catalogs to have a fallback for people which do not yet have the very latest version.
