Said "when we can" is not now, IMHO. :)

List of key tasks on the tight schedule for 8:

EE7
Undertow
Patching
ORB
Something else I'm forgetting... (sorry Jason!)

Plus

EAP stuff
logistics around renaming the project

We're still in a mode where the short term task list is growing, rather 
than shrinking. Until that situation reverses, let's defer this kind of 
thing.

The management infrastructure has a mechanism for "aliases" which 
conceptually will allow this. We haven't used it for an entire subsystem 
before, so there may be some sort of gotcha there.
