Why it matters
The ecosystem is moving from commitments toward implementations, but maturity varies by organization and use case. Decision-makers should distinguish pledge, early-adopter status, demonstrated implementation, general availability, and scaled adoption.
Decision implication
Track implementation maturity by named organization and use case rather than assigning one blanket general-availability status to the ecosystem.
