OK; it sounds like just a misunderstanding.  You're not obsoleting an
existing interface.  You're adding a new interface that's _born_ as
obsolete.  Thus, there's no obsolescence notification required, and
this chart doesn't help.

You may, even though there are no Micro releases planned.  I'm just
trying to figure out where you're intending to integrate this.  If
it's going into an S10 update, then it needs to have patch/micro
binding.  It looks to me like it ought to be appropriate for such a
binding.
