The task was more difficult than we knew then, and my time has been limited. We’ve made lots of progress on the spec, we have some very high-quality implementations that are getting good use (including in industry), and hopefully we’re converging on something that could be called 1.0.

(Anyway, I take no responsibility for the wording that you quote: that was all @codinghorror!)
