Hi,

But I never said we would commit to that. On the contrary, what I would like 
is that the documentation says clearly that "freebsd" and "openbsd" may 
change, so that people are aware they cannot rely on these styles to always 
remain the same (contrary to the old styles). So that's rather a non-
commitment.

Additionally, these changes will be exceedingly rare, and styles will just be 
updated on a best-effort basis.

Is that OK?
