*sigh*  I guess neither of you actually read what I wrote.  Lemme  
quote the part you seem to have skimmed, and I'll add emphasis for  
clarity:

This could certainly take 3 years or so, depending on who has this  
itch and is willing/able to scratch it.

Forget I even mentioned this.  It was an off-the-cuff comment about  
"someday how it could all work".  If you haven't learned by now, I  
tend to get big dreams, write them all up into the Grand Plan, then  
figure out what's realistic, and start finding a way to make it  
happen, at least the parts of the Grand Plan I personally care  
about.  This particular detail of how I've been fleshing in  
webchick's proposal is at the very bottom of the list of things I  
care about, so don't expect me to work on it anytime soon, if ever.   
CVS + rsync + patches in the private issue queues are all I care  
about for now.

It's so reassuring to know that people will always focus on the least  
important aspects of what I write and bend them all out of shape and  
proportion. ;)
