Yes. We should probably not include this in J8 at all but if we can get it stable quick enough it would be a cool thing having support for multi-device mscash2.
I think what we should do for now is apply this to bleeding-jumbo and see how fast we can complete it. If it's good stuff within a few days we might cherry-pick it back to unstable.
