Please let's not turn this into yet another thread about "EA are greedy evil liarz" and stuff. I can see how my first post (from today) can be interpreted like that, but the reason I posted here was not to complain about the hand-waviness of that other SimGuruWhoever, but to ask about the current state of affairs. It may or may not have changed. Which is why I was asking @SimGuruModSquad -- pretty sure they are not a marketing person ;)
There may be good reasons for not implementing something even though it is technically possible. Cf moveobjects -- there is a mod, it has issues, and I suspect these issues are (part of) the reason it isn't officially in the game. Might save some people a lot of time to know beforehand what the problems may be.
