+- From time to time new features may be added and older features/functionality
+may deprecated. Code owners would be required to modify their code to support
+such new requirements within a reasonable time. Failure to do so may result
+in the code being deprecated and no longer maintained as a part of the master
+branch.
+
+- Any regressions must be fixed as soon as possible. If you are unwilling or
+unable to fix the regression, (and nobody else does it for you), your commit
+might be removed.
+
+- The author of the commit is responsible for fixing any bugs in a timely
+manner. Failure to address issues/bugs may result in the causal commit
+being removed.
