/**
 * Indicates a public API that can change at any time (even in minor/bugfix releases).
 *
 * Usage guidelines:
 *
 * 
 *     Is not needed for things located in *.internal.* packages
 *     Only public accessible classes/interfaces must be annotated
 *     If this annotation is not present the API is considered stable and so no backward compatibility can be
 *         broken in a non-major release!
