Right now, HD is hot air.  Let us end the pie-in-the-sky assumptions
about how HD will save the day, with zero code to back it up.  Bitcoin
Wallet purportedly fails to rotate addresses, a privacy ugly, because
of this Waiting For Godot situation.  An attempt to add a simple,
stateless RPC stalled because we are all Waiting For Godot, also:

Until the major user wallets and bitcoind have -basic- HD support, it
is premature to build anything on top of HD.  We really have no clue
at this juncture how difficult will be the HD rollout.
