Requesting your opinions on Open Badges as viable

May I ask you folks to help me understand if you consider the Open Badges spec to be ready for a real world implementation?

It seems that Open Badges is still too new and evolving to be taken seriously, just yet. For example, the retiring of the original backpack site and developing spec.

Do you think that Open Badges 3.X will do the same thing that 2.X did and end up evolving beyond any backward compatibility?

I ask because I don't want to give students on our Moodle site a false sense that Open Badges is a perpetual platform that will be around to serve them if it just gets retired again and/or get replaced by yet another digital credential. 

I love and support that the Moodle Team has embraced it and integrated it, but it is not like it is in their control to ensure it's continued support.

Many thanks in advance for your opinions and comments!!!

Ray
