There will need to be explanations for a scalable plan.
However, yes it is in use today, though not by the majority (yet).

ie, u and uu matras legation is in contemporary (majority) use.
Non legated u and uu are also in use, but by minority at present.
Also, non-legated use of u and uu were the norm before it was changed to legated form in or arround 1700AD.

There are usage samples. Widespread!, this will be done eventually as with other rollbacks of the past, in a controlled manner.

Is this something that is proposed for the future, or it something that has already been adopted now or is scheduled for adoption by a siginificant proportion of Tamil speakers? Can I find out about it in newspapers or periodicals, or Internet locations, other than those controlled by the group(s) promoting the reform?

Note that the question is not "Is this a desirable reform?" nor "Will this reform make the Tamil language easier to read and write?"
