I remembered where that's documented:

I'd say the source tree's <sect2 id="xfunc-api-abi-stability-guidance">, which
David Wheeler mentioned, is authoritative. It currently matches
postgr.es/c/e54a42a. Let's update both or change that wiki heading to point
to the authoritative doc section.
I don't know if this proposing to merge the text in the wiki into the docs?
The text in the docs is describing to extension authors what they can
expect. The text in the wiki is advice for server developers how to
attempt to satisfy those expectations. So I think those can be separate
pieces of text.
