Hiding new or updated reactions

Would it be possible to add a condition in the query loading the reactions for a post? Something like

SELECT * FROM #_easyblog_reactions WHERE published = 1

I have customized the reactions in my installation of EasyBlog. When I updated to v.5.1.9, I just got 4 extra reactions replacing the ones I deleted. If I could just "unpublish" them (i.e. set publish =0), then I wouldn't get this in future updates. Currently I have to delete them. If you could add this, it would help me a lot when I update. Thanks!
