[STR New]

I would appreciate it, if the CUPS documentation
provides explanatory background information
how this and that is meant in CUPS in particular
- what is a stable interface
- what is not stable in case of minor release updates
- what is not stable in case of patch release updates
- what is not stable in any case (i.e. what is an implementation
  detail, in particular what is "private" e.g. private APIs)
