-                      v0.8 marks a project-wide commitment to complete, reviewed requirements, architecture documentation, and safety artifacts on the path to a safety-certifiable v1.0.
+                      This milestone raises the bar for what every module in scope for v1.0 has to demonstrate: complete, reviewed requirements and architecture documentation, including the safety artifacts that some modules had previously been able to defer. Meeting that bar is a multi-release effort, and v0.8 marks the point where the members committed to it project-wide.
