Wish list : Arduino ESP8266 support Espressif's ESP8266_NONOS_SDK release 3.0

[TridentTD]

Espressif's ESP8266_NONOS_SDK release 3.0
now add partition table.

https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_NONOS_SDK/blob/master/documents/EN/%20Partition%20Table.md

This feature is convient for changing size of partition and space for SSL/TSL CA cert.
Wish Arduino ESP8266 can use this feature too.

Thank you.

Work on this is already ongoing, but unfortunately updating to the new sdk doesn't seem to be straightforward as in previous sdk updates.
Translation: at this point it builds, but doesn't work, and it will take a while to get it operational, and a long while to stabilize.

I see there are a couple existing issues open asking for an update to the latest version of the NONOS-SDK. Is this still on the radar? The state of this work seems to be somewhat confusing since getFullVersion() already reports as being 3.0.0-dev, even though it seems to still be a 2.2 release:

SDK:3.0.0-dev(c0f7b44)/Core:unspecified=0/lwIP:STABLE-2_1_2_RELEASE/glue:1.0-6-g4670dfc/BearSSL:2398cc6

3.0.0 is seeing active maintenance: https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_NONOS_SDK/commits/release/v3.0.0

check also #5521
nonos-sdk-v3 "official" will happen after our release core-2.5.0.
Updating is not straightforward as it was with previous versions.
I also read some days ago that they might consider removing some restricting features about partition and size, but I can't find the link.
