+ABI testing symbols
+===================
+
+Documents interfaces that are felt to be stable,
+as the main development of this interface has been completed.
+
+The interface can be changed to add new features, but the
+current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave
+errors or security problems are found in them.
+
+Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must
+be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to
+be marked stable.
+
+Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their
+name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel
+developers can easily notify them if any changes occur.
