I guess the primary goal is to switch to a more "popular" file storage but Alex and Enrik have also worked on the MIME part to, at last, have a decent MIME support (even basic) for us, Rmail users. Both of these are desirable improvements, but there is no need for one of them to wait for the other. Since using mbox files is mostly working, I think we should finish that and get it installed. Once that is installed, we could work on better mime support.
