Which I also suspect would also cause “Carmen”/the optomizer to eliminate a lot of extra long layovers (eg: 30 hour domestic, or 48+ international). So buyer beware, there is a downside to advocating for it.

Aside from the associated body clock flip, I've enjoyed the occasional 30 hours layover, but I certainly wouldn't pass on a min day because we might lose 30 hour layovers. I'd like to see the union get access to Carmen and publish two bid packets for the pilots to see what it would look like with/without min day.
