It's been worked on.

It's being worked upon. Ultimately I don't tend to talk about it
widely because most Raspberry Pi users complain if it's not perfect
with accelerated graphics and a whole bunch of other features and I
end up with more support requests than I can cope with.

Well I do most of the RPi enablement, and yes, it's intended to
support it in similar ways to the way we support the RPi 2/3 devices.

What are your capabilities to help out? Are you a kernel developer,
user space developer etc?
