It does not mean anything about this _feature_, but it does mean this
particular _implementation_ is not likely to.

There is a big difference between (a) a feature is desirable and (b) a
particular implementation of that feature does things right.
The change in the topic is very intrusive and I am hesitant to merge it
into even 'next'. Before considering inclusion to 'next', it does not
matter that much if a topic realizes the feature as it advertises, but it
does matter a lot if it breaks things for people who do not need the
feature. While 'pu' has carried this topic for quite a long time, we
haven't heard much success report from folks like you with the need for
the feature if this implementation worked well for them without breaking
things.
I am not convinced that it won't regress fundamental things for the common
codepaths when "sparse" is not used, and the latest update patch posted to
the list (I do not think I picked it up) seemed very likely to regress
things for the normal codepath.

When it is ready. But it is likely that there won't be 1.6.7.
