Well, vendors don't follow rules in the first place. They just add random patches anyway. Developers are pretty much aware what a bug fix, security bug fix and development tree means. With an annoucement (which should really be a regular thing, sortof) of a new minor release, isn't it clear? In case you say no, don't write an RFC that requires really strict following, but instead write guidelines that match current practise.
