I don't know (it depends on how much work Matuesz does). A contingency would be to find suitable work-arounds.
Note that even the cyclic finite fields also need a lot of work. For example, they are currently not instances of Basic, meaning that just doing Matrix([[FF(2)(1)]]) does not work because of https://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3784. So I would plan on doing a good chunk of work on just fixing those. If those objects are Basic, then I think that they should just work if you dump them into the matrices. It won't be as fast as it will be when the matrices get proper domains, but at least it will work, and as soon as the matrices are rewritten, it will automatically become faster.
