Front Wheel Disc Brakes

I realize that disc brakes have been discussed in the past so I will keep this brief....

Has anyone heard the latest on fitting a disc brake to the front wheel on a tandem? I understand that there are a few manufacturers that have started this practice and I also understand that there are some significant engineering hurdles to overcome regarding the loads imposed on the head tube/steer tube/fork legs etc.

I was just curious to know if we will be able to retrofit tandems in a few years by changing out the front fork.

Thanks for any information,

Rgds,
