Development Team membership should change:
As needed, while taking into account a short term reduction in productivity
Every Sprint to promote shared learning
Never, because it reduces productivity
Just as it would on any development team, with no special allowance for changes in productivity

Sprint Reviews will no longer be needed.
They will improve their definition of 'Done" to include more stringent criteria
There is no need for a time-boxed Sprint, since time-boxes are only for new Scrum teams.
A scrum master is no longer needed since they are a mature team now.
