Controlling shared and family parameters

How about if Revit only would have one type of parameter instead of family and shared ones. 

 

At the moment there is so many Revit content available from difference sources and that cause also having multiple shared parameters with same name. It is really annoying update content parameters to match company's ones. Takes a lot of time and money.

Could be more useful and simple to having control in family editor to define which one of parameters wanted to having possible appears in schedules and tags and visible to users in project environment. 

Visible issue having workaround to make nested families and making main parameters in main family and all the other parameters which controlling functionality of family to making inside nested ones.

I know that visibility of parameter can also define by shared parameter file, but instead of that parameter controlling inside family editor could be more simple and useful and easier to maintain.

Maybe it needs renewing code or something, but I think many users would be happy about this.
