Lifecycle

Status should be a public fact, not a rumor.

Projects and specifications need explicit lifecycle states so people can tell what to rely on.

The intended states are proposed, active, maintenance, deprecated, and archived. Support windows, migration notes, and end-of-life dates will be published per project when release policy is finalized.

Until that matrix exists, treat current public source as the working truth and this page as the index for future status records.
