Henry,

This was discussed today in the weekly meeting between the R-GMA team
and SA1. Markus was of the opinion that coupling the two would cause
delays and even more confusion because of the need to acquire host

making this step very soon after this pong servlet patch goes out - so
you can expect to see an announcement *very* soon.
