AV1 is not simply ready. The specification is finished, but the encoder-decoder is not yet optimized. (It's considered experimental by ffmpeg for example. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AV1 )

There's development happening here: https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+log/refs/heads/master/...

Maybe not. There are still normative (i.e. changes affecting the spec) cases in the bug tracker:
