memdrop event required for Hybrid MDM

Boots UK, have implemented the Hybrid MDM Style which requires synchronization between virtual and physical MDM. The first release of MDM was a virtual imnplementation which exposed a MEMDROP interface. Boots will expose the MEMDROP interface for the Hybrid deployment.
For a Hybrid deployment, executing a MEMDROP does not create an event that enables synchronisation from virtual to physical MDM. IBM Support, has recommended that a MEMDELETE interaction followed by a delayed MEMDROP be executed.
Boot UK has requested that this functionality be built into the product for MEMDROP, especially for the Hybrid MDM implementation.

There is also another request for this functionality: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=67850
