The current state is described correctly - or did we make any promises about when "phase 2" will start or even end? ;-) I will add a comment that "phase 2" will not happen in the forseeable future (means: 3.1) and that this might change if some development outside of OOo would be so compelling that we couldn't resist to join it.
