+In addition to these stated goals, we try our best to uphold the following

+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Never break configuration files or existing workflows. Breaking changes
+    require a major version bump (v4 → v5).
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Keep mental complexity low: once you know i3’s key features, other features
+    should be easy to understand.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Only add features which benefit many people, instead of going to great
+    lengths to support rarely used workflows.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Only documented behavior is supported. Clear documentation is a requirement
+    for contributions.
