D-Bus's CONTRIBUTING.md documents even-minor stable branches, currently
dbus-1.16.x, that receive only cherry-picked bug fixes, so upgrades
within a major.minor are stable point upgrades per the OE-Core stable
release policy (ref-manual, "Stable Point Release Upgrades"). It also
states that odd-minor development branches such as 1.17.x are not
supported at all and receive no bug fixes, not even for security
vulnerabilities, so only the even-minor stable series should be tracked.

  https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/ref-manual/release-process.html#stable-point-release-upgrades
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/blob/dbus-1.16.2/CONTRIBUTING.md#L65

Checked the only point release in the series so far for feature creep,
the 1.16.x series having just one non-.0 release to date:

  1.16.2 (Feb 27 2025): two items -- one build-regression fix for
  verbose-mode builds against libselinux >= 3.8, and a documentation
  update. No API or behaviour changes.

Already tracked this way on the OE stable branches, counting only bumps
made since each branch forked from master: kirkstone 1.14.0 -> 1.14.8.
scarthgap has had zero point-release bumps since its fork and remains at
1.14.10; wrynose ships 1.16.2 as its initial version with no bump yet.
