Canon now allowing external raw recording?

Something that I thought was super interesting with the Atoms Ninja V+ announcement this morning was that the recorder can record 8k ProResRAW from the R5! The only other mention I recall seeing of external raw recording from a Canon camera was their whacky 8k cinema camera that needs (or at least previously needed) 4 external recorders to make an 8k image.

Today's Atomos announcement seemed like a big announcement for Canon too; seems like they're changing/opening up their viewpoint a little on how they view external recording
