I hate to say it, but don't hold your breath. I agree with you and with Kramnik that Ilyumzhinov is bad for chess, but this pussy footing just allows Kramnik to dodge Kasparov, and worse calls him indirectly, a hasbeen...yet he knows full well Kasparov is to be feared! I really want to see the "hasbeen" mop the board with Kramnik!
