Hmmm. I don't think that would work.

Assume there are two windows, one showing a buffer in evil's normal editing mode, and one showing a buffer in evil's edit mode.  If the user has configured evil to show the normal-mode cursor in green and the insert-mode cursor in purple, then evil needs to change the cursor color every time the user switches between these two windows, and (I don't think that) buffer-list-update-hook won't be sufficient for that.
