Don't know if anyone has a specific plan at the moment, though there's
enough people care that I'd imagine it'll happen if Android decides to
use this stuff.

That said I don't see this as a blocker myself - it's more like an
afternoon or whatever of work than a serious development effort to do
the updates, but a similar thing applies to most of the Android
userspace updates.
