While the Color and Lightness/Value modes are the reverse of each other and can thus theoretically replace each other by swapping layers, I don't see the Lightness mode being released any sooner than the new Color mode. It's both of them or none. I'd really love to see this (well, once it's done, of course) go into 2.8.
