Any hope for the NDK?

[ell1e]

My apologies since I don't want to pile on more than can be handled, given the project seems to be stalled for now (which I understand, Android sadly does in a way seem to be a niche platform, at least for true no-google-blobs free software efforts). But was there ever a plan to also add the NDK in some version? Even a quite old one would be useful, so that it's possible to build C/C++ apps at all without the strange official licensing of the official NDK builds.
