[Python-Dev] provisional status for asyncio

[Yury Selivanov]

Since there is at least some possibility that we might have another
discussion about asyncio removal from the stdlib in 3.6, should I
just reuse the warning we had in 3.4 for asyncio:


     Note: The asyncio package has been included in the
     standard library on a provisional basis. Backwards
     incompatible changes (up to and including removal
     of the module) may occur if deemed necessary by the
     core developers.

?
