So we should wait until _A and _Z multi's are done ?

Ouch, that would mean those NEW files will stick around even longer.
I would much rather see them dealt with sooner rather than later in
some manner - a systematic bleeding should do the trick given Mr. Khayat 
concentrates on them.  But since you guys are doing all the work, whatever
you guys decide on is good with me.  Just come to a clear consensus and
broadcast it (via a blurb on the project page) and we'll proceed.
