GLib's docs/backports.md states that only bug and documentation fixes are
backported to the current stable branch, that new features and API/ABI
changes must not be, and that micro stable releases are intended as
drop-in replacements. So upgrades within a major.minor are stable point
upgrades per the OE-Core stable release policy (ref-manual, "Stable Point
Release Upgrades").

  https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/ref-manual/release-process.html#stable-point-release-upgrades
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.88.2/docs/backports.md#L18

Checked the last two point releases for feature creep:

  2.88.2 (Jun 25 2026): entirely "Bugs fixed" backports plus translation
  updates.
  2.88.1 (May 02 2026): seven fixes -- a GCC 16 miscompilation, a GRegex
  out-of-bounds read with security impact, and five further out-of-bounds
  reads. No API or behaviour changes.

The series opened with 2.88.0 (Mar 16 2026), which must stay outside the
regex as the feature-level release.

Already tracked this way on the OE stable branches, counting only bumps
made since each branch forked from master: kirkstone 2.72.0 -> 2.72.3,
scarthgap 2.78.4 -> 2.78.6, and wrynose 2.88.0 -> 2.88.2.
