The team is going to shift gears to focus on Motor 2.5, the compat release for 5.0. Afterwards we will return our attention to this and the other 4.0 work we have enqueued, so this is on pause for now. Tentatively setting target date, but this will be informed by our upcoming QP. Engineer(s): Prashant Mital Cost in Eng Weeks: 2 Original | 2 to date | 3 Est Final 2021-06-30: Setting target date to 2021-07-16 Prashant currently has support for the hello command in progress, after which we will switch tracks to any remaining 3.12 work and we will aim to include the rest of this epic at the tail end of our 3.12 effort before cutting the release, however depending on timing it may make sense to target releasing this in a fast follow-up 3.13.
