We have users who are interested in zcache and we had hoped for a path
that didn't introduce an additional 6-12 month delay.  I am talking
with our team to determine a compromise that resolves this, but also
gets this feature into the hands of users that they can work with.
I'll be away from email until next week, but I wanted to get something
out to the mailing list before I left.  I need a couple days to give a
more definite answer.
