user96049: Will new channels automatically use Taproot now, or is there something to activate in c-lightning to make it use Taproot?

user81940: There are major protocol updates necessary before we can use taproot in lightning and decide how exactly to make use of it in lightning and how to integrate it. Thus I don't think any implementation (that includes c-lightning) as of now or even in this year will add support for it

user101498: Channel opening is about communication between two nodes. Therefore it's not a feature C-lightning can unilaterally support. The protocol needs to be specified in the BOLTs.
As of February the 21st, specifications are still being discussed on the mailing list. A concrete protocol for Taproot channel openings has not been publicly proposed yet.
