Good reasons for it to be last.

For it to be useful, all of these issues need to be addressed 
successfully.

Considering the amount of time left in summer, the relatively 
low importance of having the feature, the anticipated difficulty 
of doing it, and the HIGH importance of having it done correctly 
if it is done at all .....  I agree with Felix that it is 
probably best to just not do it now.
