We really can't say at the moment, but this step is definitely needed.
It will not be part of the upcoming release (baikal).

Yes - no feature will be lost. But it will be possible to embed the
x2go session into the x2goclient window. This will enable things like
a tabbed interface and a shared interface (session + client options
visible).
