The State of Matter livestream

Got some open Matter + Thread related questions for ESPHome and HA that be nice if could answer:

1a. News about native Matter support in ESPHome firmware over WiFi on ESP32?
1b. News on Matter support in ESPHome firmware over Thread on ESP32-C6/H2?
* That is, to make our own Matter compatible devices using ESPHome on ESP32, so wondering if begun working on it as Tasmota has? → Adventures with Matter protocol on Tasmota · arendst/Tasmota · Discussion #17872 · GitHub
2. Any news on TREL (Thread Radio Encapsulation Link) support for SkyConnect?
3. Any news on native TREL support for multiple OTBR with HA’s Matter controller?
4. Any news on native support for multi-admin support in HA’s Matter integration?
5. Will Matter controllers eventually be able to join HA’s Matter Fabric?
6. Any tips or help with OTBR firmware builds for (TI) CC2652P based adapters?
7. Will the Matter integration depend on “Matter device handlers” like ZHA-quirks?

PS: Looking forward to the day when Home Assistant’s Matter controller has native for having multiple Open Thread Border Routers on its own in the same Thread network to avoid SPOF (like Zigbee has).
