I can tell you that this was one of the more popular requests from all the CE attendees last year during our final "wishlist" feedback session. At the time, the devs -- Rammer if I remember correctly -- said they want to make sure they can do it right before it's in.

Not sure who my replacement is, as I tried to line up someone from here with no luck. Quinto said he'd take care of it.
To continue the Kane jokes, I can only imagine what Patty's side missions would consist of...
