The process of handling development stages needs a bit of work

These products and efforts are valuable for sure! Indeed if you want to start to define “infrastructure stages” in an analogous way, that would make a lot of sense. Similarly it would be great if we had “implementer stages.”

The point is just that OpenMRS Developer Stages are meant to indicate something specific (demonstrated ability to develop and collaborate on the EMR platform), and dual-purposing developer stages to also be something else would muddy the message.
