Hey folks - looking for some guidance on plans for supporting the `@stream` directive in the router. For now, unless I’m missing something, it looks like I’m going to have to leverage subscriptions to accomplish what I need in the short term, but it’s a bit non-ideal and I’m hoping someone has a better alternative if `@stream` is far out.

Hi Mark - we’re busy getting our OSS (Apollo Server, and the clients) to support the new incremental delivery format, which brings along support for `@stream` too.

Router support is a different story though. I’d like to learn more about your use case though, so If you’re interested in chatting about it [book a slot in this calendar](https://calendar.app.google/zyxHVXE44JmnRueA9) and we’ll go from there.
