Material Components' relationship with MDL

Reading through multiple issues here in MDL repo eventually lead me to [Material Components](https://github.com/material-components/material-components-web).

In addition, I just read that MDL is no longer in active development (as per the default Issue placeholder) but all v2 repos in the issue placeholder no longer exists.

While Material Components repo states that it is the successor to MDL, no statement in MDL repo corroborates this claim. I looked over the README.md, the Wiki and CONTRIBUTING.md.

I would just like to ask for verification that Material Components indeed supersede MDL so I can start following that repo and use that instead.

Thank you.
