According to our policy, any minor update may report more linting errors than the previous release (ex: from a bug fix). As such, we recommend using the tilde (`~`) in `package.json` e.g. `"eslint": "~3.1.0"` to guarantee the results of your builds.
+## Stylistic Rule Updates
+
+Stylistic rules are frozen according to [our policy](https://eslint.org/blog/2020/05/changes-to-rules-policies) on how we evaluate new rules and rule changes.
+This means:
+
+* **Bug fixes**: We will still fix bugs in stylistic rules.
+* **New ECMAScript features**: We will also make sure stylistic rules are compatible with new ECMAScript features.
+* **New options**: We will **not** add any new options to stylistic rules unless an option is the only way to fix a bug or support a newly-added ECMAScript feature.
