Abstract
@@ -15,11 +15,26 @@ Status
This specification is in `DRAFT` status. It is a work-in-progress and is
subject to change. Comments and revisions are welcome.
+Although some sections have yet to be written, this specification is already
+implemented by package building tools and over 100 source packages since 2012.
+Any changes made to written sections will maintain compatibility with the
+existing format and implementations.
+
+Occasionally, new optional elements of the format are added and existing
+limitations are relaxed. Such changes are made in tandem with corresponding
+support being added to package building tools. Source packages that make use of
+such new elements and relaxed limitations are responsible for ensuring that
+package building tools are new enough to support them, by listing such tools and
+minimum required versions in the `Build-Depends` control field (see
+$[sectlink][fields-src]). Refer to the release notes of package building tools
+to identify the versions in which support is added for changes to this Source
+Package Format.
