RWY 25 RET probably wouldn't be worth the investment. It would make for a very complex taxiway structure and would basically render TWY Hotel as redundant. TWY Hotel plays a pivotal role in the safe management of the ground traffic during 25 only operations, especially with the number of bays that push back directly onto TWY Golf (57, 58, 59, 60 and 61).
What would help is jets planning for and making TWY Yankee at speed (and then immediately turning onto TWY Hotel unless instructed otherwise). The number of domestics that slow and appear to thinking of using TWY Alpha as one exit is very high.
What would help is non-jets planning for and consistently making TWY Bravo.
There are lots of things that would make operating RWY 25 operations better, I'm sure everyone reading this post could make at least one suggestion.
