From what I have seen of that feature, it is going to

As for flash being a nono, what is so wrong with using it for a feature such
as this? My only real worry about using it in such a circumstance would be
that it would be used liberally on the monobook itself... how about as a
gadget?
In this case there isn't much point in discussing flash from a pure
technical perspective, since you can already do fairly good animation
with simple broadly compatible JS. (and examples of such already
exist)
