How long will datetime64 and timedelta64 remain experimental for?
The numpy manual for version 1.12 states on the topic of datetimes and timedeltas:
Note
The datetime API is experimental in 1.7.0, and may undergo changes in future versions of NumPy.
NumPy 1.7.0 was apparently released in February 2013, version 1.8.0 dates from October 2013, and version 1.9.0 was released in October 2014. Version 1.12 is expected late 2016 or early 2017.
Are there any concrete plans to stabilise the NumPy datetime64 and timedelta64 APIs? If yes, is there a target version beyond which we can expect such stabilisation? Or are there some major unsolved problems and should we expect it to remain experimental for the time being?
