Annotation to inform users of how much to rely on a particular package, class or method not changing over time. Currently the stability can be Stable, Evolving or Unstable.

All classes that are annotated with Public or LimitedPrivate must have InterfaceStability annotation.
Classes that are Private are to be considered unstable unless a different InterfaceStability annotation states otherwise.
Incompatible changes must not be made to classes marked as stable.
