 No.
 There are only two decades of using features similar to our cropdetect
 filter in different transcoding applications.
 Or two explain it differently: What you suggest, completely (!) ruins the
 effect the filter is supposed to have since forever. This was never about
 a beautification of the output video but about removing an artefact that
 makes encoding significantly more difficult leading to either worse output
 or bigger files.
 I am not opposed to allow the cropdetect filter to change its behaviour
 (and I expect it is technically possible) but it has to be made clear that
 what you describe is not a bug and what you expect would be considered a
 bug if done by default.
