I think the message from mother is that they are not stupid, they know what they are doing, they are ahead of the game (they gave us an example in confidence of evidence of this).
Reading between the lines, I got the feeling that, what is out there at the moment is transitional, no matter what the manufacturers want you to believe, the current implementations simply will not cut it long term.
I expect Meridian will be one of the first to come up with a full implementation, but whether it will have their name on it I do not know
