Of course, this isn't something that will happen in the next couple of hours or likely the next couple of days, so I was looking for a way to answer your earlier question of: "is there anything that we can do in the meantime?"
But seeing that this is becoming more than a classpath issue, it's not likely something that we will be able to address until then.
