Well, I haven't heard that but all the speculation on DGV seems to imply it.

Just tried an experiment. Two DGIVs using the autopilots whenever I could, launched from the surface of Gamma2 to Aries
waiting in orbit. They ended up about 80 kilometers apart which made perfect spacing for a recovery on Aries. DGIV_1 (the one
I was flying) ended up about 4 kilometers from Aries so I engaged the autodock AP and switched to DGIV_2 and did the same
then back to DGIV_1 to watch.

Orbiter doesn't have AI yet but this was the next best thing. Looked real busy watching another DGIV recover at another dock
while I was making my approach.

Hmmm... I wonder if it's possible to activate both docking APs and have two DGIV's dock with each other? Silly idea but I'll
give it a go.
