+Stability and Versioning
+------------------------
+
+This package uses a major.minor.micro SemVer versioning, with the
+following additional semantics during the alpha/beta period (Major
+version 0):
+
+This package treats 0.0.z versions as "alpha" versions. Each micro
+version update may change the API incompatibly. Early users are advised
+to pin against explicit versions, but check for updates often.
+
+A planned 0.1.z version will introduce the first "beta", whereafter each
+micro update will be backwards compatible, but each minor update will
+not be. The first beta version will be released after legacy.py is
+removed, and the API is tentatively "stable".
+
+Thereafter, normal SemVer/PEP440 rules will apply; micro updates will
+always be bugfixes, and minor updates will be reserved for backwards
+compatible feature changes.
