**Edit - Since it's a long thread, Post 30 and 31 has the list of "Kanji Lite" which are the JLPT2 Kanji and the 92 supporting Kanji. Post 183 on Page 8 combines these into the actual RTK Lite list. There's also a RTK Lite list based off of the 1110 Kanji in 2001KO Books 1 and 2 discussed later in the thread.

Yeah, this would be WAY down the road but can the following be possible:
In our Profile, there'd a selection option to activate the "Lite" version of RevTK, which will only show you Kanji listed in the JLPT2 list and any Kanji that would be a primitive that's not on the JLPT2 list (such as Axe).
I think the way it could work is this: Each Kanji would have a marker determining if it's in the Lite list (easy enough, well, one would have to make up the list). Now, only these cards will be displayed for studying and reviews. Now, it would mean you'd get a LARGE stack in the added pile but the user would not see it.
So, what happens if he does the 1100 or so that would be the Lite version? I'll assume that the Added stack would be about 900 cards. You don't want to test the 800th card prior to the 10th, so perhaps for added cards, your study screen offers a "learned" button for added cards (much like missed stack). Yeah, you miss out on the initial review, but that's a small loss.
It sounds workable from a programming standpoint (ok, I don't program, but work with me here). Seems like it could make RevTK more approachable. Splits the Heisig system up into more of a 1000, 1000, and 1000 Kanji group. Plus it offers the following:
Student decides he wants to learn Japanese in College, spends 4 weeks in the Summer learning 1000 Kanji at 2 hours a day (very doable). That knowledge gives him a leg up on his first two semesters as they used Genki. Next summer, he decides to round off the next 1000 in about 6 weeks. Maybe then after the 4th semester, he just goes on to RTK3 for the rest.
Thoughts?
