Projects should leverage only published APIs of dependencies. As a Release Review requirement, deviations should be listed as part of a migration plan, with bugs listed where APIs need to be provided by dependent projects.

As per the Jan 7 PC meeting [1], the requirement text was clarified as follows:
- All deviations *must* be documented
- Rectifications *should* be planned
Full new text below:

Projects should leverage only published APIs of dependencies. As a Release Review requirement, all deviations must be documented. Additionally, rectification for the issues should be listed as part of a migration plan, with bugs listed where APIs need to be provided by dependent projects.  '''Perhaps a '99 44/100% Pure APIs' indicator for projects with no improper usage can be used to advertise the 'cleanest' projects?''' ;)

THis is a routine mass closing of the previous release umbrella tracking bugs.
