FWIW Native does support RPR+, I have a lab switch configured as such
but it still takes roughly 45 seconds to come online if you loose your
master:
!
redundancy
mode rpr-plus
main-cpu
auto-sync running-config
auto-sync standard
!
And I agree that it doesn't look as though hybrid is going away
anytime soon!!

Native IOS either has or will have a feature call route processor redundancy plus. If its out yet then Native should handle high availability ok, if not then hybrid is the way to go if you need high availability failover. I haven't checked to see if Native IOS has RPR+ yet but if it did then it would be a better redundancy then MSFC/HSRP and CatOS HA.
