We already did the base enablement in bionic/cosmic already (built with opengl and it is usable).
Due to the further kernel (i915) and userspace drivers (nvidia) and MIR (virtglrenderer only in main since 19.04) requirements there isn't too much benefit backporting the further bits that we worked on.
Therefore the further actions to make it more easy to consume (apparmor changes, udev changes, ...) and more stable (plenty of upstream fixes) will not be backported.
Especially the stabilization part for gl/mdevs has too much potential regression for the existing 18.04 users - unless we find a super-use-case that pushes this trade-off more towards "worth it".

Therefore I'm setting the SRU tasks for these "further" actions to Won't Fix.
If one wants to work with that but stay at 18.04 the current thought is to use the Ubuntu Cloud Archive [1] for that.
