+ABI stable symbols
+==================
+
+Documents the interfaces that the developer has defined to be stable.
+
+Userspace programs are free to use these interfaces with no
+restrictions, and backward compatibility for them will be guaranteed
+for at least 2 years.
+
+Most interfaces (like syscalls) are expected to never change and always
+be available.
