If it doesn't yet, it will. Support for add-ons like Tree Style Tabs has been on their radar since development of the new API started:

That just means that certain popular addons will get the support necessary to have their needs satisfied.

Some niche ideas won't get support and thus die.

That's the problem with a gated system where you can only do things approved by HQ.
