there's no timeframe yet i am afraid. the implementation would unfortunately
not be trivial to say the least. direct (through assignment) and indirect (e.g.
through inheritance, node type constraints etc.) references to a specific
node type must be checked in *all* workspaces and in the version store.
this could be a very lengthy task and the root nodes of all workspaces
would need to be exclusively locked during the entire operation.
i guess one solution would be an offline maintenance job but it certainly
won't make it into the 1.0 release.

i was going to suggest this as a workaround ;) it's ok if you're aware
of the risks.
