Tree Supports ready in time for the Prusa XL?

For reference, I am talking about Cura's tree supports. Here is a reddit thread with a few pictures so you can see the supports. 

One of the biggest advantages of tree supports is how much material they can save compared to traditional supports. They also print 

With the Prusa XL, prints can be big. Using traditional supports on such big prints will use up so much more material than what tree supports would use.

I was thinking... We've been waiting for Cura-like tree supports for years at this point. Surely Prusa would be wanting this feature by the time the Prusa XL comes out, right? It only makes sense.

It should be easy considering that the tree supports are available (I think) for the resin printers.

Tree supports for resin printers are entirely different than the tree supports from Cura. Reference the link in the original post to see what Cura's tree supports look like. Otherwise, here is a quick image of what Cura's tree supports look like:

Tree supports that are used in resin prints would not be a good fit for FDM printing, anyway.
