Preparing for autoreimport feature

Hi,

We’re currently using 4.5 and we’re gonna upgrade to 4.7 in the next couple of days. However, we noticed the autoreimport feature is planned for 4.8 and we would like very much to get this working properly when/if we upgrade to 4.8.

I know it’s still a feature in development but can we expect autoreimport to work properly when we upgrade to 4.8?
ie : we start storing our assets in the content folder and when we’ll upgrade and grab the autoreimport feature, assets will automatically be reimported for 4.8?

Thanks!
