And I would say there's a good case for changing the laws for cyclists to that effect.

That will never happen, it would cause too much of a grey area and many people would get hurt.
Cyclists should be stopping at the stop sign no matter what. Waiting for a cyclist to clear an intersection after coming to a complete stop is still faster than waiting for a pedestrian. It's simple, if you are in too much of a hurry to wait for a cyclist after they stop then maybe you should have left earlier. As a cyclist if you are too lazy to stop at a stop sign, then maybe a less manual mode of transportation is for you.
