No, we already know what needs to be done and who's going to do the work
and have the resources lined up. We just need to find the funding so that
those people can justify spending the time on it, and even that process
has already reached the tentative approval stage pending a final proposal.
I expect that implementation will be started before the Google Summer of
Code even begins, assuming nothing unforseen happens.
