Who knows? Anything's possible.

Here stands another person who views President David O. McKay as one of the very few (and probably the last) worthwhile Prophets of the LDS Church.
David O. McKay 9th President Served: 1951–1970
in 1972 the Correlation Department was established

“We look to not only the spiritual but also the temporal, and we believe that a person who is impoverished temporally cannot blossom spiritually.” Keith McMullin - Counsellor in Presiding Bishopric
"One, two, three...let's go shopping!" Thomas S Monson - Prophet, Seer, Revelator
Correlation may have started out as an attempt to clarify the doctrines of the church and present a unified message, but it was co-opted by Joseph Fielding Smith and his acolytes Harold B. Lee and Bruce McConkie (who was also JFS's son-in-law). Even though David O. McKay had repeatedly expressed his disapproval of Smith's and McConkie's dogmatic pronouncements in books like "Doctrines of Salvation" and "Mormon Doctrine," what ended up in correlated doctrine was driven mostly by Smith and McConkie, with Lee's support. For example, when the church published its edition of the King James Version of the Bible in 1979, it included a Bible Dictionary that was written by Bruce McConkie, with quite a bit of the text having been lifted verbatim from "Mormon Doctrine" and Smith's publications.
If correlation had been driven by a less-dogmatic group, who knows what the church would look like today?
