WHIP Support for Platforms (not just Restream)

Now that WHIP is in BETA on Restream, can we add WHIP support going from Restream to platforms that support it such as Twitch. Currently, streams are being sent to all platforms via RTMP regardless of the ingest protocol of the first mile. This adds 3 seconds of latency due to the design of RTMP, which means the end user watching the stream gets 4 seconds of latency in total.
It would be amazing to be able to specify which protocols to uses on a per platform basis, e.g YouTube (RTMP), Twitch (WHIP), etc. This way, you can benefit on the low latency between the source and what the end user is watching, making interactions between creator and the community in chat a better experience.

Hello,
Now you can go live on any platform that supports WHIP. It works just like streaming to Custom RTMP or Custom SRT channels — but is designed for low-latency, WebRTC-based streaming.
WHIP is still experimental, so we’re keeping WHIP input and output in public beta for now.

Happy streaming,
Matt from Restream

I'm going to bump this up, not because of support for WHIP (because it's already in BETA on Restream) but to add WHIP support going from Restream to platforms that support it such as Twitch.
