    I would expect that to be data only additions, I would not expect that
    to be adding new code.

    It would be much better to not have to watch stable constantly like we
    currently do - we're seeing people report breakage often enough to be a
    concern as things are, we don't need to be trying to pile extra stuff in
    there because there's some keywords in a changelog or whatever. The
    testing coverage for drivers is weak, increasing the change rate puts
    more stress on that.
