Weeks, not months or years. Using that type of bleeding edge stuff in production is the sort of thing an organization only does if they have an Adrian Chadd on staff who intimately understands every detail of it, someone who can shepherd use of it and who can basically guarantee that any problems that come up can be handled very quickly as their #1 drop-everything priority. That's not the case here.
