You can already do that with VFR w/flight following.

Not if you have to fly through clouds to get to your cruising altitude. While
you have the option of cancelling IFR once you are in VMC, ATC is not required
to provide flight following, whereas it is required to accommodate IFR.

I never said that ATC was required to provide flight following.
What I said is that you as the pilot have the option of changing your
altitude if you are VFR w/flight following, just by notifying ATC that
you are going to change your altitude.

What you said above implies that if you had FEW120 BKN200,
you'd have to pick up IFR to get through the first layer to fly VFR at
14500. That doesn't even remotely make sense.
