-The AGL Application Framework is nothing new. However, the implementation used
-up until the `lamprey` release has been retired starting with the `marlin`
-release and replaced by a redesigned Application Framework one. However, this
-new implementation isn't a 1:1 replacement, and as such it doesn't provide all
-of the features of the previous Application Framework. Some of those will be
-added back over time, others have been discarded in favor of more modern and/or
-widely-used alternatives.
-
-With the `needlefish` release, further changes have been added, including a
-[gRPC IPC](https://grpc.io/about), alongside a deprecated D-Bus one, as well as
-using as using systemd units as opposed on using
-[Desktop Entry specification](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/)
-to list applications, and relies entirely on systemd to start application,
-rather than spawning them directly.
-
-Once all platforms transitioned to gRPC, the D-Bus functionality will be
-removed entirely, mentioning it in only in documentation for history purposes.
+AGL has worked at providing the components of an application framework for many
+years. However, the implementation used up until the `lamprey` release was retired
+starting with the `marlin` release, and replaced with a redesigned one.
+However, this new implementation does not aim to be a 1:1 replacement, and as such
+it does not provide all of the features of the previous framework. Some of those
+will be added back over time, while others have been discarded in favor of more
+modern and/or widely-used alternatives.
+
+With the `needlefish` release, further evolution of the replacement framework included:
+
+- Using [gRPC IPC](https://grpc.io/about) for the application launcher API.
+ The interim D-Bus based API was deprecated at this time, and removed in the
+ `pike` release.
+- Using only systemd unit metadata in the application launcher instead of using
+ [Desktop Entry specification](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/)
+ to list applications, and relying entirely on systemd for the application
+ lifecycle, rather than spawning them directly.
