Make Particle System Emission Number animatable

Why can I not animate the emission amount? I would like to slowly fade in some particle, then stop emitting, and later on fade some more in.

That ship's already sailed:

The reason why is we have a system that emits a fixed amount of particles in a fixed time period, not a system that infinitely outputs at a dynamic rate. We would need quite a different system for that. Geonodes is already doing quite better in that regard and will keep going further.

I see. Yes sim nodes are a great way forward, was not aware they already exist.
