multi-colunm table issue

Hello !

I'm interested for some time (say 2-3 years) in the resolution of a 
specific bug, described in the documentation here

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE#Multipage_TABLEs

as

*Beware:*Split tables often begin not on the page (or in the column, if 
you use them) where they/could/start, but on/in the next one. This is a 
known limitation due to the complicated calculation of remaining space 
on the page. That won't become better before this calculations are newly 
written in Lua. (Said Hans on 2010-09-24.)

Simply, do you have any shedule for this issue to be solved ?

Many thanks in advance,

Thomas
