This is great. I found this last night and was curious how the tags were
generated.
The rep could use a clear definition on the distinction between status
'developed' and 'maintained' though. I'm not sure it's immediately obvious,
but I'm guessing it is whether there's a promise the abi won't change
during the release. Is this correct?
Cheers,
Daniel.
