What I posted before is all there is to say, really. You can get a 
supported version of this feature in the Symas CDS packages. You can 
also get the feature in 2.4. If you're using this software in a critical 
production environment it is probably wise to get support. 2.4 will go 
stable when it's ready; there's no set timeline for that. I consider 2.4 
fairly incomplete feature-wise, and I expect that codebase to undergo a 
fair bit of upheaval still.

I'm of course confident that this particular feature is usable; we've 
tested it heavily and Symas has a number of customers already using it 
in production. But I have no expectation of adding it to 2.3 since 2.3 
has been feature-frozen for quite a while now, and is in bugfix-only mode.
