These roadmaps won’t contain all the work we’ll be doing. There is also a lot of work that takes place in the background. Some of this is day-to-day incremental improvements, of which there are too many to list, or other projects with longer time horizons which may not arrive until 2026 or later.

The replies to questions indicate that the technology provided noncontractually is generally more routine and incremental than that protected by contracts.
