Maybe, but then it won't be in the tree, and it won't be documented.

If that is an objection, could you explain why you'd prefer it to be
done that way?

The point of doing it this way is to encourage more frequent runs using
valgrind.  I find bugs with valgrind so often that I wish this mode of
running were the default.
