Really? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding caused by my poor organisation of the wiki page. This is not part of the roadmap, but is part of our list of ideas. As such, I think it is valid to raise and think about; talk about it's pros and cons.

I've moved our ideas on to a separate page to make the key points for the next release (3.0) more readable.
