How can we improve WooCommerce?

layered navigation hide out of stock items

When people use the layered navigation plugins that are available they dont want to know if you make a product in their size they want to know if you HAVE a product in that size! :) If it could only show items that are still in stock the world would be a better place!

I noticed that the layered nav widget uses the attributes values to function.
This works fine for most products. However, for variable products, shouldn't it use the variations values data instead to show what's available?
In a test I did, I edited a variable product, and removed all variations but 1. I left the attributes as is (most were selected). Instead of showing just 1 size as available, all sizes were displayed as being available, only because the attributes were present in that variable product.
A quick fix would be to remove attributes which aren't available from each product. However, it's not ideal either. When a product goes out of stock, it's still listed as being available by the layered nav widget even though it's not (and it will be until something is done manually).
