Possible values are Stable, Evolving, Unstable, and Deprecated. Notice that this annotation is only valid for classes which are marked as IA.LimitedPrivate. The stability of IA.Public classes is only related to the upgrade type(major, minor or patch). And for IA.Private classes, there is no guarantee on the stability between releases.
