I'm happy with a statement like this offering additional guidance, but
I think that formally we should stick with the current
provisional-or-not situation (with asyncio remaining provisional for
another release, if the asyncio devs feel that's needed). Ultimately,
end users only really have two choices - use a library or not - so
adding extra levels of "provisionalness" actually complicates their
choice rather than simplifying it.
