Bootstrap 3.0 - Contextual row classes not applied to <thead> row in <table>

Created by: crdesai

I wanted to add contextual classes (especially .active) to my <thead> row. However, it looks like the contextual classes are limited to <tbody> row classes. The following does not work.

<thead>
                                    <tr class="active">                                        
                                        <th>Status</th>
                                        <th>User Name</th>                                       
                                        <th>Last Access</th>
                                    </tr>
                                </thead>

I looked at tables.less file and I confirmed that background color styles are applied only to <tbody> elements. Can we add contextual classes support for rows in <thead> and <tfoot> elements of a table too?
