I know that Sophia and I have talked about this quite a few times, but I'm not sure if a definitive IRAF-less solution has been reached yet.
In the meantime, here is something that was written on the astropy-dev group earlier this month:
"Any affiliated package that depends on IRAF tasks,
either optionally or otherwise, should very clearly and explicitly
list which tasks it uses and what exactly it uses them for. If we can
compile these lists into one place it would provide a great list of
tasks to prioritize for replacement."
