The new Android Transition framework available in Android 4.4 KitKat is by far one of the coolest things I've seen done for android in a long time. As a developer I've recently switched to developing for sdk 14 (ICS), which means I'm still years away from from using these awesome new features.

Is there any news of anyone, or even Google themselves creating a backport for these awesome features?
