Subject: State of the overlay branch (again)?

Hi all,
I hope I'm not getting on anybody's nerves by repeatedly asking the same
question, but a while ago I was asking about the state of the Emacs
overlay branch
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-03/msg00565.html)
because overlays are heavily used by some implementations of semantic
highlighting (see emacs-ccls, lsp-mode).
Somehow I had thought that the noverlay branch had long since been
merged with master but when I recently tried to find evidence for that
merge, I couldn't find any.
So, is the new overlay functionality part of Emacs master (heavily
renamed perhaps), or if not, is the merge still planned? If so, is there
anything I could do to help speed up the merge process (as of yet I
don't have any experience with the overlay mechanism or Emacs' C
internals though)
thanks,
Sebastian
