+### Protobuf Schema Stability
+
+The specification provides the follow stability guarantees of the
+[Protobuf definitions](proto/opamp.proto) for OpAMP 1.0:
+
+- Field types, numbers and names will not change.
+- Names of messages and enums will not change.
+- Numbers assigned to enum choices will not change.
+- Names of enum choices will not change.
+- The location of messages and enums, i.e. whether they are declared at the top lexical
+  scope or nested inside another message will not change.
+- Package names and directory structure will not change.
+- `optional` and `repeated` declarators of existing fields will not change.
+- No existing symbol will be deleted.
+
+Future versions of the OpAMP specification may be extended by modifying the
+Protobuf schema defined in this specification version. The following Protobuf schema
+changes are allowed, provided that they comply with the interoperability requirements
+defined elsewhere in this specification:
+
+- Adding new fields to existing messages.
+- Adding new messages or enums.
+- Adding new choices to existing enums.
+- Adding new choices to existing oneof fields.
