PROBLEM:
We expose several grpc services through a Gateway.

Ideally, we would like to use GrpcRoute (https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/reference/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1.GRPCRoute) to create rules to proxy the gateway to each service.

Unfortunately the GrpcRoute resource is not available, and we are forced to use HttpRoutes; this forces the client to create multiple channels through our gateway, consuming extra resources.

GrpcRoute is in the stable v1 API. On October 2024 Google announced API 1.1 parity (https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/release-notes-new-features#October_17_2024), but GrpcRoute (and other routes too) are not available yet.

Is it possible to know if the feature will, at some point, be available?
Else we'll look into hosting our envoy proxy manually, defeating the whole premise of using the Gateway API.

Thanks
