Has anything been officially stated about the plan for 2.0's melding request function expanding beyond single melds?

As it was in 1.xx, if you wanted a second+ meld, you had to trade the gear, materia and catalyst to the crafter to meld in their own inventory, then trade again to get the multi melded item back. As an LS crafter, I often spent a few hours in Uldah repairing items and then getting these trades of used gear+materia+catalyst from friends and LS mates. If SE doesn't expand their meld request system beyond single melds, that will no longer be possible with used gear.
Im fairly sure it only went to single meld in 1.0 because of the server, I would assume that would change in 2.0 with this system... /shrug.
