/**
* The ConfigStoreWithStableVersioning annotation is used to indicate that the configuration store
* supports stable versioning. This means that:
*
* <ul>
* <li>Once published the version will remain available for at least a day even if it gets rolled
* back.</li>
* <li>The version and all its configuration objects are immutable.</li>
* </ul>
*
* Version stability defines the possible outcomes for repeated calls to
* {@link ConfigStore#getOwnConfig(ConfigKeyPath, String)}
* for the same config key and version from the same or different JVMs. This is used in conjunction
* with {@link VersionStabilityPolicy} to control client library behavior with respect to caching
* config values.
