If I understand correctly, you are proposing to a "temporarily stable
API", i.e. to add new APIs while keeping old ones for a bit until the
Rust side updates to the new one (including perhaps workarounds in the
helpers when needed). Is that correct?

In other words, while the entry is about the helpers file, the policy
is about all APIs (since some APIs are called directly), right?

(Up to you, Viresh et al., of course, i.e. I am just trying to follow)

Thanks!

Cheers,
