## Stability Policy
The following policy applies for the _Black_ code style, in non pre-release versions of
_Black_:
-- The same code, formatted with the same options, will produce the same output for all
- releases in a given calendar year.
+- If code has been formatted with _Black_, it will remain unchanged when formatted with
+ the same options using any other release in the same calendar year.
+
+ This means projects can safely use `black ~= 22.0` without worrying about formatting
+ changes disrupting their project in 2022. We may still fix bugs where _Black_ crashes
+ on some code, and make other improvements that do not affect formatting.

these will be minimised as much as possible. This is to allow for improved formatting
