Do you have suggestions for a better way to convey this point. The catch is that implementation is not required prior to CR; it is only encourage. If you want to require implementation, then that is, as you say below, a bigger question.

[wc] How about: "Implementations Completing".   That wouldn't imply 
there weren't implementations earlier, but would get across this 
finalizing the required compatible implementations needed to move on to PR.
