I have done some work on a replacement advanced search web part. The main reason for having to do this is due to the fact that someone at MS decided that the connection between the web parts should be internal and therefore plugging in your own custom results web parts without replacing the entire query/results bits is impossible. So you're left with the suggestions already mentioned, which may or may not provide what you are after.
I have not heard anything about this being reversed from anywhere - although it may have been drowned out by the chorus of apologies from all and sundry about having done this. ;-) Also, after having installed SP1 this morning, I can confirm that this has not changed. I have a commercially available solution that might meet you needs. But we should talk off-air, if at all. If you're interested send me a personal email.
