Yes this is coming (as well as Python 3 QML Plugin support):
https://github.com/sailfish-sdk/sdk-harbour-rpmvalidator/pull/21
https://github.com/sailfish-sdk/sdk-harbour-rpmvalidator/pull/20

It "only" needs some changes on the server side to basically not show 
SDL2-using apps to clients with older OS versions (as those OS versions 
don't contain a good enough version of SDL2 - otherwise your app would 
appear as downloadable there and not work, and users would be unhappy).

This is being worked on at the moment, but might still take a little time.

Once the server side changes are done, SDL2 and Python 3 (and some other 
APIs once they are stabilized) will be allowed.


HTH :)
