No, nor will it, until it is supported by GeoServer. Chicken.

No doubt an expanded and more diverse user base will help detect more bugs, and encourage better unit and regression testing. > When does funding on your project end?

Dr Robert Woodcock (AuScope Grid - Director) has confirmed to me that we will task people to help fix bugs in the GeoServer WFS DataAccess processing chain until June 2011. We will not undertake to to support WMS, but I am confident that this work will also benefit the WMS implementation.
