There seems to be no objections to that wording, so I went forward and
added it to [1], plus added the note about those rules to [2].

That matches my version of the oral tradition.

One point to note is that we should refrain from doing gratuitous
oslo-incubator syncs, since the process is so painful :) Once oslo
libraries graduate, they are handled through usual dependency version
updates, which are not really encouraged in stable either. So this
process should IMHO really be limited to critical bugs and security issues.
