If it wasn't a priority they wouldn't have left it on their most recent milestone chart and made a concious effort to state that it will be completed in January. This tells me they still have a good reason to complete it soon, despite all the other items they have on the go. Not sure why they still want to do it now but it kind of contradicts the whole thing about not having too much on the fire at once. Its appears they have lots going on concurrently.
