provisional package
|
||||
A provisional package is one which has been deliberately excluded from the
|
||||
standard library's backwards compatibility guarantees. While major
|
||||
changes to such packages are not expected, as long as they are marked
|
||||
provisional, backwards incompatible changes (up to and including removal
|
||||
of the package) may occur if deemed necessary by core developers. Such
|
||||
changes will not be made gratuitously -- they will occur only if serious
|
||||
flaws are uncovered that were missed prior to the inclusion of the
|
||||
package.
|
||||
|
||||
This process allows the standard library to continue to evolve over time,
|
||||
without locking in problematic design errors for extended periods of time.
