Docs: clarify future behaviour of TRUNCATE for system-versioned tables

Details

    Description

      Here:

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/system-versioned-tables/

      Doc says:

      "Currently, the TRUNCATE TABLE statement drops all historical records from a system-versioned-table."

      From this sentence, it is not clear if the future behaviour is going to change, if future behaviour is undecided, or if it has been decided but the sentence has not been updated. Please clarify, so users can confidently use TRUNCATE when appropriate.

          I don't think the manual can and should make predictions about future behavior.

          Then "currently" should be removed?

          As it is now, it sounds like a warning against possible future changes...
