It's basically us saying to Python users "We're explicitly flagging

integrated it into our build process, test suite and binary releases,
so you don't even have to download it from PyPI in order to try it
out, you can just import it from the __preview__ namespace (although
you're still free to download it from PyPI if you prefer - in fact, if
you need to support multiple Python versions, we actively recommend
it!). There's still a small chance this module won't make the grade
and will be dropped from the standard library entirely (that's why
it's only a preview), but most likely it will move into the main part
of the standard library with full backwards compatibility guarantees
in the next release".
+1.
Yep, nice way of putting it - and summing up the virtues of the
approach. (Although I might say "most likely it will move into the main
part of the standard library with full backwards compatibility
guarantees in a future release".)
