why should they? They define the 'interface' to the implementation. It
is most important that these interfaces do change as little as possible
especially in a STABLE version.

They can change when you update to 10 and they can change all the while
on CURRENT but not on RELEASE versions like 8 and 9.

You should have the current version if nothing is mentioned in UPDATING.
