Experimental: very early days, a lot of churn in search of a good API. Not on CRAN. Might not go anywhere. Use with care.
Maturing: API roughed out, but finer details likely to change. Will strive to maintain backward compatibility, but need wider usage in order to get more feedback.
Dormant: not currently working on it, but plan to come back to in the future.
Stable: we're happy with the API, and the unlikely to be major changes. Backward incompatible changes will only be made if absolutely critical, and will be accompanied by a change in the major version.
Questioning: no long convinced this is a good approach, but don't yet know what a better approach might be.
Retired: known better replacement available elsewhere. Will remain available on CRAN.
Archived: development complete. Archived on CRAN and on GitHub.
