UA CO flight number alignment

Any idea when UA & CO will start aligning flight numbers so things are more seamless? ie the CO flight # = the UA flight number across the board.

What I mean is that they align ranges, like all CO mainline are x to y (and UA codeshares are x to y) and UA mainline are y to z and regional partners and codeshares (ie Air Canada, etc) are a to b and b to c, etc
Is this part of the 'customer day one' that is supposed to be happening in May?

For example, CO #3209 becomes UA #3209 or whatever the case may be for the same segments.
I know CO .com has added the 'are you looking for UA xxxx from x to y' under the flight status, but in many cases it is confusing and sometimes just plain wrong.

I remember when Delta did it for Northwest and it was crazy the number of updates and changes in pnrs that happened but ended up being really good for the customer to say I was on NW xxxx and it was the same DL #.

or does this fall into the same 'we don't know what will happen and when with this merger'?

Thanks
Kevin
