Particle Mesh update — a note from the CEO

Hello @zach

I'm amongst the luckier ones, who didn't invest that much into your mesh solution as others: we are iterating prototypes and there are a few test deployments with certain customers. But it is still the central part of our product vision...

We will continue to develop and support our flagship cellular (Boron) and Wi-Fi (Argon) product lines, and will continue to invest in our Bluetooth Low Energy support for local communications between devices.

On the other hand, the current BLE documentation (https://docs.particle.io/tutorials/device-os/bluetooth-le/) states:

Particle devices do not support Bluetooth 5 mesh.

Do you plan to support it? Or something equivalent? If yes, because now you have time to do it, how is the roadmap?
I'd like to get a clear answer here: 2 months, or 2 years, or it is not on the map. I need to know whether I can wait for you to provide it, or I'll have to solve it for myself.

I know, that this will not allow OTA update, but at least the functionality of mesh data communication could be provided.
