Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-12657:
------------------------------------------
No, the annotations do not tell anything whether someone should implement it or
not. They tell about whether it is allowed to break the implementation with a
minor version update of the package. Implementations of consumer packages must
never be affected, it is fine to affect implementations of producer packages.
Whether a project (like Jackrabbit) wants someone else to implement an
interface is a completely different story and not covered by these annotations
at all.
