When will Sigma and/or Tamron produce RF lenses?

Re: When will Sigma and/or Tamron produce RF lenses?

Do we have actual confirmation yet that Sigma (or others) have actually cracked the RF code?  I’d think that Canon would want to keep (RF) lens compatibility as proprietary as possible, for as long as possible (to sell their own lenses).

When others do reverse-engineer the RF code, I’d speculate that they’d start off with a non-stabilized prime first, as the IS/IBIS interface seems trickier to manage.

I’m all for competition though.
