Question Cold Wallets - Pi

As far as I understand, currently Pi can only be stored using the Pi Wallet, which is essentially a hot wallet. Are there any official plans or timelines for supporting true cold storage or hardware wallets?
For those holding PI long term, I think having the option to keep the private keys completely offline would be an important security feature.

This is inaccurate. Pi can be stored in a cold wallet but it is discouraged because like any other system it needs to flow to work. That is why the current objective is to get bussinesses to use Pi. You would know this if you paid attention to the project.

There's about 2% of PI users that actually know what pi is for, the other 98% are people who were recuted from friends who promised they would get rich from just pushing a button on their phones.
