 HOWEVER....
 
 I plan to start enforcing kernel and userland API and ABI stability
 once 5-STABLE happens.  This _doesn't_ mean that the branch will be
 locked down and that it's time for everyone to go off in a huff and
 claim that they won't be able to fix bugs.  What it _does_ mean is
 that changes that affect API/ABI stability and/or user experience
 will need some form of justification.  That justification might
 include POSIX compliance, security vulnerability, etc.  Adding to
 the API via added library functions, new optional program flags, etc,
 will pretty much be fair game.  The point is that there will be a
 little more review and oversight going on so that 5-STABLE can
 actually be advertised as being 'stable'.  Along with that, the
 6-CURRENT cycle is going to be defined so that it doesn't take 5
 years like the 5-CURRENT cycle.  These are things that will be
 heavily discussed at the DevSummit, so I encourage those with an
 opinion on this to participate in that.
