I agree here, preserve what has been done, but then overwrite with the 2.5 series.
Then release 2.5.1 as HSSF 2.5 + recent fixes plus rest of HEAD.

It is also unfair to hold your work up. Initially I thought I'd be given a greater amount of time to do the HSSF refactoring, but its not looking promising and HSSF isn't stable in the head. Therefore, I think we should overwrite the HSSF part of the HEAD wit h the 2.5 stuff (possibly branching first to preserve it). While many folks have given promising (2/3 memory footprint reduction) feedback on the memor y savings, no contributors or even fellow committers have stepped forward to help and I can't really do that myself and keep it in synch.
