Indeed.

Given that it's slotted and (barring bugs) won't interfere, and would need 
to be stabilized before another package requiring it can be stabilized, 
that would seem to be the point at which we need to worry about 
stabilization -- when other package stabilization is being blocked because 
they require python-3, which isn't yet stable.

But until that point... and I've seen nothing even pointed out for 
discussion as an example of such a package yet... I don't see that it 
needs to be (or should be) in stable at all.  When such packages appear, 
/then/ we can discuss if the time is right w.r.t. everything else (non-
interfering slots, etc, vs. popularity of depending package(s)).  Until 
then, I just don't see the purpose or point in it.
