Hi Dan,

I noticed this while trying to port some of our designs to Kicad. We use 
via fields to connect high current/low impedance planes together or do 
thermal pads, so it's quite important for us. Somebody was proposing a 
patch for a similar issue there:

Sure, what I'm missing are custom pad stacks (at least different 
diameters on top/middle/bottom layers) and independently controlled 
soldermask tenting for each via.
