Let us end the pie-in-the-sky assumptions about how HD will save the day, with zero code to back it up. Bitcoin Wallet purportedly fails to rotate addresses, a privacy ugly, because of this Waiting For Godot situation.

We really have no clue at this juncture how difficult will be the HD rollout. -- Jeff Garzik Bitcoin core developer and open source evangelist BitPay, Inc. https://bitpay.com/
