/**
 * This annotation can be applied to interface where an implementation should be
 * treated as a use policy, not an implementation policy. Many package have
 * interfaces that are very stable and can be maintained backward compatible for
 * implementers during minor changes. For example, in Event Admin, the
 * EventAdmin implementers should follow the minor version, e.g. [1.1,1.2), however,
 * an implementer of EventHandler should not require such a small range. Therefore
 * an interface like EventHandler should use this anotation.
