I see how that can seem weird to a committer deeply familiar with the development process and how things happen. But
peopleoutside the -hackers bubble have very little idea. It’s fair to say it needn’t be a long statement for major
versions:a single sentence such as “we try to avoid gratuitous breakage” is a perfectly reasonable framing. But I’d
say,in the interest of completeness, it would be useful to document the policy for major release *as well as* minor
releases.
