It will take years more for it to get adopted by hardware and content vendors. However in order for that to happen the software needs to be available so that people can start to experiment with it. It’s a chicken and egg situation.
For sure, someone needs to build stuff. What feels weird to me is less that there’s a new codec, but rather that it’s so closely on the tails of AV1. There will only have been a few years of hardware that ever had AV1 but not AV2. Seems like they should be more spaced out? But maybe that’s nuts.
