2.  APIs without `@Beta` will remain binary-compatible for the indefinite
    future. (Previously, we sometimes removed such APIs after a deprecation
    period. The last release to remove non-`@Beta` APIs was Guava 21.0.) Even

    plans to start removing things again, but officially, we're leaving our

## IMPORTANT WARNINGS

1. APIs marked with the `@Beta` annotation at the class or method level
are subject to change. They can be modified in any way, or even

used on the CLASSPATH of users outside your own control), you should
not use beta APIs, unless you [repackage] them. **If your
code is a library, we strongly recommend using the [Guava Beta Checker] to
