   That looks to me like an after-the-event rationalization. The
release note for Python 3.0 (and the "What's new") gives no indication
that it is experimental but does say """
We are confident that Python 3.0 is of the same high quality as our
previous releases ...
you can safely choose either version (or both) to use in your projects. """
