Incorrect.

It's nowhere near mature/stable, but they are definitely working on it.

First, just because they are working on something doesn't make it something. That is like saying... hey I'm working on adding encryption. It isn't there yet, but I can still claim my app is encrypted.

Also, P2P overlays already exist in multiple forms.. Yggdrasil, Nebula, Tor, etc. Yet another example of them trying to re-invent the wheel when it isn't even necessary. Tox already does this.
