I’m aware of the algo for sorting and asserting final/non-final.  I was
talking about stability and compatibility policies: PEP 386, contrary to
the misnamed Semantic Versioning spec for example, does not define
anything in this regard (this was already pointed out a few months ago
by PJE, I think).  See the examples in the quoted text above.
