When will the codec ship? The group is aiming to freeze the bitstream sometime between the end of the 2016 and March 2017. Expect to see browser-based support soon thereafter, with the first hardware support within 12 months after that.

On the one hand that is soon, on the other hand this is not much time for research/development. Hopefully it won't have bugs in spec this time, but this probably means they will have to stick with most of libvpx since that is what AV1 its currently built upon, and other IP will only be patches on the top.
