If it was ready, it would be out. If a fix was ready for a bug, it would be out. An approximate date is not something that you can just give out when a solution isn't certain. If they were to give a date and something comes up, it would be pushed back, resulting in the same disappointment.
This is something not under the microscope right now, so they'll get to it when they get to it. So all they would tell you, it will be ready when it's ready.
In the mean time, there is a work around with editing the ini file.
*Edit* Commiekid beat me to it.
