Additional context

All beta features once planned to be part of an official release receive an Issue like this to gather feedback.

For 2.0, we should make sure to add CDS in the list of standards, and provide a CDS example.

We will be talking about beta feedback for this issue on next week's WG call.

Many cities and companies have had the chance to use and evaluate Requirements, so it may be time to move it out of beta for MDS 2.0. It's also been discussed in numerous working group meetings, on GitHub, blog posts, and presented at webinars. Some useful links include:

Welcome feedback from users like @alexdemisch, @quicklywilliam, Portland, etc and from others using it whose links we don't know yet.

No specific feedback from me at this point -- SFMTA has made this available as part of beta but I don't know if anyone's ingested it yet. I think we could include it in MDS 2.0.
