CSRM12 — Informational Update to CSRM Profile Specification

Rationale:
System Adaptability is an increasingly important topic, as it’s an effective way to reduce significant cost overrun and schedule delays, which frequently exist in aerospace industry. It is also listed in INCOSE SE Vision 2035 as one of the backbone technology (ref: "Paul Schreinemakers", leader of FuSE – Future Systems Engineering initiative in INCOSE).
Recent progress in this topics include: Boeing’s adoption of adaptability technique to achieve sustainability (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7159262285008437249/ ) and proposal of including adaptability into IEEE Smart Cities standards, etc.
Adaptability is a very important and desirable property of a reference architecture. That allows users to easily adapt to changes in the future, which almost always happen in the aerospace industry. Overly restrictive architecture often cause high cost when requiring changes in the late stages of the development cycle. Thus, it is important to emphasize that CSRM is adaptable per INCOSE’s definition of adaptability in SEBoK.

Add one sentence is Section 2:
The CSRM reference architecture defined in conformance with the CSRM Profile accommodates architecture adaptability [REF of SEBoK] and provides necessary facilities (mission profiles). The conformance definition enables user production of high system adaptability per the standard SEBoK definition of adaptability.
