I hoped to have this covered by:

  "In any case, modules that are proposed to be added to the standard
library, whether via __preview__ or directly, must fulfill the
acceptance conditions set by PEP 2."

PEP 2 is quite detailed and I saw no need to repeat large chunks of it
here. The idea is that all the same restrictions and caveats apply.
The thing that goes away is promise for future API stability.
