It sounds to me that the term "best-effort" is adapted here?  Like in
"The compatibility of query IDs is preserved across minor versions on
a best-effort basis.  It is possible that the post-parse-analysis tree
changes across minor releases, impacting the value of queryid for the
same query run across two different minor versions.".
