I don't know of any such plans, but others may chime in. Amber20 will
have a new implementation of the "Bussi" thermostat, which makes (with
appropriate parameter choices) minimal disruption of dynamics.
Also, just checking about whether you have used a Langevin thermostat
with a very small value for gamma_ln (say something like 0.1)? I don't
have experience with membrane permeation simulations, but in other
circumstances, dampening of dynamics is highly dependent on gamma_ln.
