-improve. There are no known production uses of the library though. The current
-state is sufficient for a developer or project to experiment with it. Recent

+improve. There are a number of internal refactorings being done now that will
+make the code base more welcoming to new contributors. It is also anticipated
+that as developers begin using the API, the lessons from that will result in
+changes to the API, so any developer using this API at this stage should be prepared
+to embrace that. The current state is sufficient for a developer or project to
+experiment with it. Recent increased contribution rate to the project is expected
+to lead to a high quality, stable, production-worthy implementation in 2020.
