Hi Christian,

We just had the virtual PTG last week and discussed this topic[1].

As you know, we completed the specification document and merged it
during Antelope. So the community agrees on the plan to implement. At
this point it just needs developers to start work on the patches.

During the PTG session no one attending was able to pick up this
specification for development, so we did not highlight it as a feature
targeted for Bobcat. I did say that I am willing to help anyone that
has developer resources work on it, I just cannot lead that effort
during Bobcat.

So if you are willing to work on the patches, we will help out as we
can with reviews and answering questions, etc.

Michael
