I agree.

Better yet, I would like to see an ability to 
right-click the ruler in an image window and change its unit of measure 
on the fly.  Convenient/expected as it is to have the ruler display 
coordinates in image pixels, there may be some times where you want it 
to be in a different UOM, and I'm not finding an option to control that 
in 2.8 .
