tl;dr - this feature allows producers to assign a stop for a given StopTimeUpdate in real-time, with the primary intended use case being platform assignments within a station. However, some flexibility in assignments is allowed for additional uses of real-time assignments as long as new stop does not result in a significantly different trip experience for the end user than the stop_id defined in GTFS stop_times.txt (see the diff in the PR for a full description!).
