I think trivkins will still support this scheme, although coordinated feedrate with both Z and W will probably not do anything smart. In fact, I'd sort of guess that any feedrates apply only to XYZ, and auxiliary axes will only move so that they complete at the same time as XYZ. This is probably all you want, anyway. The point is, I THINK, that a move in XYW will not compute the feedrate the same way as an XYZ move.
