That is example what changing minor number might mean. All current
conforming implementations already know how to process our newly
defined error notifications (they assume exchange failed), thus there
is no need to update minor number, as there is no new ability needed
for implementations to process those notifications.

There is no reason to change that text. It does not require us to do
something, it is just example.

Agree on that.
