[Not architectural, but likely PAC advice]
Doesn't being Committed and having no upstream "owner" in effect
mean that the submitters management chain is signed up to maintain
and fix bugs until EOF? Is the submitters management chain aware
and has accepted this? Perhaps as mentioned Obsolete or Volatile
is more appropriate for interfaces that are not "owned".
