Thank you, this is a great improvement!
I know the original document is only about binary compatibility, but I think it would be useful to also cover source compatibility. I think we could say that we can not guarantee backward source compatibility across compiler releases, but we have some tools (the open community build) to detect such incompatibilities and mitigate them, especially within an LTS series.

Updated to address the reviews. |
In addition, be a more assertive that we strongly *intend* compatibility of produced artifacts to be preserved, while still making it clear that we cannot *guarantee* it as it is not mechanically checkable.
