Github reports this as targetting 1.5, but the 1.5 beta release has no relevant changes to the database/sql package.

Any updates on whether this will make it or be pushed out once again?

I completely agree that this is desirable, but somebody has to step up and do the work. Perhaps you could tackle it, for 1.6?
