It seems that FreeBSD has an ABI compatibility policy where major

That is to say that the kernel interfaces and libraries for (eg)
7-STABLE, 7.1-RELEASE, 7.2-RELEASE are not supposed to change.

Is this a policy of the project? If so, is it documented anywhere? Or is
it just a convention?

It is a policy of the project but I don't think our policies are written down as such. I think you will find it referenced in
many places in a sideways manner rather than directly.

Possibly in the developer handbook


Cheers,
