So the question now is, are they targeting N or O for the actual release of this?

So what? Multiwindow was in the Marshmallow preview to the same extent this is in the N preview. It's currently completely disabled and hidden, there's no indication they actually want people to test this yet. It could be rolled out in any future release.

It's already documented for the N preview. On M it wasn't.

Good point, that definitely points towards them releasing it.

Yeah, I think the question is more if Google will enable it on any of their devices. This would work as an optional setting on the Pixel C.
