Which could work. The problem is, of course, that that would be very expensive for SI, and if you ever wanted your regens to age the game would have to reupload the faces somewhere, have them get sent through some related piece of software, and then download them again.
In short I doubt it will happen. But there's a lot of room for improvement for the current faces that don't require extraordinary computing power like this does
