Does any softdevice support Mesh, per BLE5?

[Mitch996]

Hello, I'm pretty sure the new BLE 5 will come out soon and it will integrate the mesh. And if mesh needs to be done at a protocol level, it must be the softdevice.

So, any softdevice so far support mesh? Or at least, any plans?

I'm usre nrf52840 support BLE5.

Aren't you still mixing major spec release (which is basically buzzword) and particular features/mendments (profile specifications)? If there will be any update to BT SIG specification it will be 5.1, 5.2 etc. If chip supports "BT5" or not is almost useless as most of the features are optional anyway (as they were in 4.2/4.1). And while BT SIG are working on "mesh networking" adoption into the standard (or separate amendment) I don't see any indications they would be close to the release... am I missing something? As I follow Nordic they won't release anything before BT SIG official announcement but maybe you get lucky, let's see;)
