I think, we've had this discussion before, but let me ask again:  What
is the current plan regarding pattern stability?  I remember an argument
that 16-bit-engine patterns may change arbitrarily as long as neither
XeTeX nor LuaTeX are declared stable (reach version 1.0).  Is there any
plan to freeze patterns for those engines eventually or will they never
be frozen?

Can you point me to such a statement?
