Renderscript via the support library

android android-support-library renderscript

Seems to me that android has an android.support.v8 package that contains Renderscript support. The thing is, this doesn't seem documented anywhere - the support library docs don't say anything about a v8 package, just v4 and v13.

Is that package supported on all devices with API level 8 and above and can it be safely used in production?

Its not yet production quality.
