ALTER TABLE SWITCH PARTITION on a replicated table

A customer wants to implement table partitioning on a replicated table.

They want to hold 13 months of data in the table and roll off the earliest/oldest month to an identical archive table.  The table has a date field and partitioning by month makes sense all around.

So SWITCH PARTITION is the obvious solution to this, except for the fact that the table is replicated (transactional w/no subscriber updates).

What are his architectural or practical solutions to using table partitioning and replication?
