Smart Gallery logic too limited (rules can only be all AND'd or all OR'd)

As a new SmugMug user the one disappointment to date is the lack of any real flexibility for the Smart Gallery logic.
Once you pick a list of Smart Gallery rules, the only available logic for combining the rules is one of these two options:
What is really needed is something to enhance this to allow more complex logic to AND and OR.
For example, call the existing logic functionality the ability to define a rule SET:
we need the ability to at least add MULTIPLE rule sets, which could then be AND'd or OR'd - independently of how the rules where combined within each of the rule sets.
Even if this only let you AND all rule sets or OR all rule sets, at least you would have some flexibility since you could OR rules within one rule set, AND all rules within another rule set, etc., and then at the top level you could then AND all rule sets together (or OR all rule sets together): this is a lot more flexible than the current very limiting operation. (Ideally there would be full flexibility in the logic, but any enhancement here would be welcome.)
