Hi, sorry to bother. May I ask what this refers to? Thanks!

Of course! I also notice it wasn’t written right, it’s about this project: #108944 - Compositor: canvas and transforms - blender - Blender Projects

Ah, yes. I’ve read a bit about it some time ago. Thank you!

What is this Animation project relating to the VSE?

Pending polishing (pose libraries and VSE)

Oops didn’t see that comment until now.
@sybren I don’t recall, can you enlighten us?

You can animate properties of VSE strips, and there is special handling of that in the VSE code to make sure that things stay valid when VSE strips move in time. There’s also some code that duplicates F-Curves when duplicating a strip, or removes F-Curves when removing a strip. These all have to be updated to properly work with the new data model of Actions.
