IMO, basically like FE has been doing it, so far, except that
breaking
APIs, ABIs and packages deps etc. must not happen.
That language may be a bit too strong, as I can think of cases where an
essential update may end up breaking ABI, though it's not unreasonable to
to make policy such that it *should* (not must) be avoided.
