Thanks, Aditi - as with everything Mynewt, this is very well done.

A few small comments:

1. We might want to explicitly define the meaning of "releases that are still supported" (mentioned under Release Schedule); for instance, is it only the current major release, or one or two prior releases as well? The section on Backwards Compatibility talks about active and deprecated features at a more granular level, but not the definition of supported releases.

2. Is there an API / feature state for Obsolete in addition to Active and Deprecated? This ties in with my next point...

3. Perhaps some mention of documentation is in order? For example, will up-to-date documentation accompany each code release either concurrently or within some reasonable timeframe? (The tie to the previous point is that we might want to have documentation of previous API snapshots as things change over time.)

Kudos to the Mynewt team for this extremely clear and comprehensive policy description.
