I don't think so. I don't work on it and I've not seen anyone mention them
working on it. I added it the TODO since I want to see it being handled, but I
have no expectations of being able to work on this myself within the nearest
future.

If anyone else grabs it and wants to work on implementing it, I will certainly
try to help out.

In a project with only volunteers, there really isn't anything like a single
priority. Everyone works on whatever they think is important and I gladly
accept changes in all areas that improve our project. We provide the TODO
document to give people a sense of which things we'd like to see.

If people truly want happy eyeballs support in curl, if that was important for
someone, then I would expect that someone to come here and work with us to get
it done...
