New Smelting idea

Ever since the new raw ore blocks were implemented, i've been thinking about "can u smelt them?".           I would be very neat if u could because now they're only a building block.
My idea is that you could smelt them and get 9 ingots or a full block of any metal, wouldn't that be great?

    While you can easily with a datapack the catch is the furnace mechanic is designed to consider one smelt action versus doing 9 to keep a balance. Now you could increase the cooking time to balance it and keep the XP return low to balance things out. That is you'd get more XP and the individual iron faster with the raw ores, but smelting a raw ore block and you get a full block in return, just at 10x slower speed and 9x less xp,  I could easily see be vanilla.
