We should not be concerned about timeframe in terms of what official Ecma spec 
revision modules land in. ES has moved to a train model, recognizing that it's 
more important when features ship in browsers than when Ecma publishes a 
copyrighted document containing the features. Modules are probably in stage 2, 
verging on stage 3, of [the TC39 process][1]. They won't make it into ES6 until 
they land in stage 4, and no implementation has started on them. It's not clear 
to me that keeping the current design would actually incentivize implementers 
to implement them any faster than if they dropped back to stage 1, especially 
since implementers generally prioritize features with high user demand, whereas 
modules in their current state are definitely "mixed signals."
