API changes
-----------

We make changes to Guava's public [APIs][], including adding new APIs, very
carefully. Because of this, if you're interested in seeing a new feature in
Guava, the best approach is to create an [issue][] (or comment on an existing
issue if there is one) requesting the feature and describing specific use cases
for it.

Whenever a participant has made a mistake, we expect them to take responsibility for it. If someone
has been harmed or offended, it is our responsibility to listen carefully and respectfully, and do
our best to right the wrong.

        Guava's main yardstick for evaluating proposed features can be summed up as [utility times
        ubiquity](https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/PhilosophyExplained#utility-times-ubiquity).
