It is a transitional state. Time is irrelevant when the universe is what we're discussing. Billions of years are but a fraction to God after all.
Being in a transitional state is not a disqualification. ALL matter is in a transitional state. Does water cease to be matter simply because it freezes or evaporates?
EVERYTHING made of massy particles is matter. There are no exceptions to this.

It is a disqualification. But I thought about something to declare the winner in this debate: does plasma have a gravitational pull?
If it is matter, it must have gravity. I frankly don't know the answer to that, and I seriously doubt that it's even discovered. Searched but No google results at my side.
