Progress M1 is leaving ISS to allow Soyuz to dock with the Service Module. 
How will future Progress vehicles dock with ISS assuming that a Soyuz will 
be attached to the SM for a while? Will they dock with the SM or FGB nadir 
ports? Are the necessary hybrid docking adaptors available for Progress? If 
so, how could MirCorp possibly hope to re-direct any of those 
hybrid-equipped Progresses to fly to Mir? WIll NASA really let RSA 
experiment with hybrid-equipped Progresses attempting to dock with a nadir 
port at ISS?

Inquiring minds want to know!
