Great news indeed! 
Is it safe to say at this point, there is no longer any support for the raspi camera?
No, we haven’t dropped the support for the raspi camera. However we don’t yet have satisfactory fix that we can release. We are working on it! (among 100’s of other things 
Understood, priorities, priorities. With that being said, no way to enable it? I updated an older install of astrobox for my printrbot and was expecting the camera to still keep working. until it wasn’t and I checked here. Glad to be a beta tester for anything that can enable it.
Thanks any which way even if it’s not possible.

What is the status of support for the RaspiCam?
Mine is detected, but I just get errors when trying to use it.
Since logs are helpful, here are the relevant entries:

I also followed the instructions here to enable MJPEG, but that didn’t work either.
