That's fair. (But again Hadoop 3 versions aren't "NT", they're "red light". this is a direct result of folks doing testing.) There are even notes below the table that explain *why* those versions are "red light". I think we have an explanation note for anything marked X currently. >> if "S" and "F" are meant to mean "production ready" why don't we just >> make that status "production ready" and pick a symbol for it?

I would be happy to take this on. > Yeah, I like this idea because I think it's essentially what we were trying to get across in "S", "NT", "X" but traffic colors are easier to scan.
