We completed PR and expect to release cs04 in a couple of month.
It will probably be mostly identical to latest csprd as all
comments were minor.

I'm not sure I get the question. It is already final:
[VIRTIO-v1.0] Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.0. Edited by Rusty
Russell, Michael S. Tsirkin, Cornelia Huck, and Pawel Moll. 02 August
2015. OASIS Committee Specification 03.
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/cs03/virtio-v1.0-cs03.html.
Latest version:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/virtio-v1.0.html.
And:
"OASIS Standards Final Deliverable" means any of the following:
Committee Specifications, Candidate OASIS Standards, OASIS Standards and
Approved Errata.
Naturally, we keep releasing new versions with bugfixes and new features.
There's no plan to stop that AFAIK.

I think that it's unlikely that we'll make incompatible changes in
future versions.
