Could you provide the definition/specification for what types of changes 
are allowed in transitioning from a '-' release to a '' release.  
Explicitly, 't-' -> 't'.

Once again, this isn't about testing or bug-counts.  Its about the 
stability of interfaces defined in a '-' release.  If these interfaces 
can't be modified (syntactically or semantically) in the transition 
between 't-' to 't', then I'm happy, but I'd like to get an unambiguous 
answer on this.  (Also, its not about what has happened in such previous 
transitions.  It's about a statement from the community stating there 
intended operating procedure.)
