Googles own apps don't support the image format Google pushes? 
I need to be able to place webp images into Google Apps.
1 Is this issue likely to be addressed rapidly or must I reformat all of my web images to be png? (I need to provide transparency in images).
2 Given that Google's own apps do not support webp how likely is webp to fade into one of Google's sunsets?

Hi Dan,

Thanks, this is a valid concern, which we expect to address soon, now that WebP is getting used quite pervasively.

Supporting WebP end-to-end across all platforms likely to use Doc/Slides/... is actually quite involved,
namely because we still need a fallback to PNG/JPEG "just in case". But this is definitely on the radar.

Hehehe... "soon" hehehe...

Is there any chance for getting a roadmap, when this "soon" will happen?
