Optionalize Merge Commit Grey-Out

By default, merge commits are de-emphasized in the repository's "Commits" page by greying them out. They're still present and accessible, but they're not obvious.
This is problematic to me. Merge commits are my most important commits and, if anything, should be highlighted. In my workflow, major features enter master exclusively through merges.
I understand from this forum thread that it's an intended feature, but I wanted to add my voice to those requesting that this be optional. Maybe it already is, and I just couldn't find the setting?
