Background multiple book download from OPDS

There are already a number of reader apps that support background "download all" from calibre or any OPDS catalog starting a few years ago, so that you can still read a book using the same app while waiting for the download to finish. I think this is very very nice. Will M3 ever do that? If yes, any time frame?

As we all know, tethered file transfer using iTunes is not convenient.

The calibre connector approach has broken before, so I'm not too confident about it. Moreover, it won't work for other generic OPDS server, where we don't have the freedom to add a plug-in.
