Here the change only says that the function can return both true or false instead of just true, but the return type is not being changed. I will try to get clarity on this and proceed accordingly.

A: A CSR request is required if the specification of a public exported API. Not all javadoc updates are specification changes. For example, typo fixes and rephrasings that do not alter the semantics of the API in question do not require CSR review.

It looks like a javadoc which alters  semantics of the API.
This method can be used in subclass and probably would count as `public exported API`, but I am not sure here.
