Interesting question.  My feeling is that if there was a technical
product, it would be primarily a document describing how to do it, and
including by reference the bzr etc versions that you can use to do it.

I don't know if specifically reifying it as a Product helps.

Right now we're clearly at 0.something; perhaps after we get to 1.0 we
will think of doing a large step to UDD 2.0.

If you would like to lead/write a document about it that could be a
valuable contribution.  Obviously there is some stuff already written
but I don't think someone can say "so what's UDD all about and how to
I do it" quite as easily as we would like.
