Completely leaving aside the question of what exactly it _should_ mean, it
appears to mean "consistent on the same machine for a given OS release,
_across any possible hardware changes_".

This very much does not mean "consistent between machines in any useful way"
or, as you see here, "consistent across releases".

Those things would definitely be useful, but they're not what's meant. The
thing which _is_ meant *is* also useful, but for different reasons and
different problems (which might not even be problems you have).
