You can ask questions about it in this forum, but the only answers you will get at this time are:
-We have no idea when R&D will come out
-It will be out before combat
-No, it will be out aftercombat
-Nu-uh, I know that it is coming out before combat
...and so on.
The topic of R&D is currently restricted in the suggestions forum, so don't go asking about it there.

You could probably submit a question about it for the Dev Q&A session. R&D is on their agenda after all. But whether they will be able or will want to answer that question is up to them, plus it still might be too early a stage in the development to say anything definitive about it...
