The new stability attributes approved by the ARC are *NOT* merely
internal paperwork. They're new *public* attributes that supersede
the previous ones and are intended to be used in all documentation
that refers to the stability of public interfaces.
See PSARC 2005/220 for details.
Given that we'll be using these new attributes in future man pages and
that attributes(5) will be updated to have them, it would be good to
have SMF accept the new values rather than forcing project teams to
step backwards into the previous taxonomy.
