How Conventions Work

Convention Maturity Framework

Conventions advance through maturity levels based on the number of independent implementations, per the Zarr Conventions Framework:

Maturity	Min Implementations	Stability
Proposal	0	Not stable — breaking changes expected
Pilot	1	Approaching stability
Candidate	3	Mostly stable — breaking changes require new version
Stable	6	Completely stable — review process required
