Thanks, it already does in the current development sources:

    Toggle Line Number mode.
    With arg, turn Line Number mode on iff arg is positive.
    When Line Number mode is enabled, the line number appears
    in the mode line.

    Line numbers do not appear for very large buffers, see variable
    `line-number-display-limit'.
