ALA is slow to react to non-immediate issues, and its website is notoriously (and embarrassingly) poorly-implemented. I suspect the support is there (especially, as you note, in ACRL), but it's having trouble percolating up the bureaucracy and down to the webmasters. I'm glad you called this out. Perhaps those of our colleagues who are still ALA members can light a fire under this issue. Disclaimer first: I am a former ALA member.
