I see how that can seem weird to a committer deeply familiar with the 
development process and how things happen. But people outside 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.

Best,

David
