Does Sitecore 8 have built-in support for MVC scopes?

Quote from: Kevin Brechbuehl (from Powerful Sitecore MVC Puzzle ):

Sitecore does not support scopes out of the box, but there are many solutions to integrate them into your solutions:

•   
• Allow region in mvc.renderRendering pipeline  
• Use Custom ControllerRunner and Custom Rendering  
• Allow scope by configuration  

We also saw that Sitecore is working on a solution to integrate realms into the core. Rumor has it that they will integrate a similar model as BrainJocks

with the assembly line mvc.renderRendering

.
