You don't want to explicitly say that the API may not stay the way it is now?
I think most people will ignore that soft suggestion to contact the list
unless you tell them that unless they explicitly ask at the list the API may
change any time in the future without a further notice (american consumerism
:) It's clear to us what finalization means, but most likely unclear to users.
So I see no harm in telling exactly what does it mean.

I thought that was covered with what you wrote: "a few
other methods which aren't tested at the moment and therefore their
API is a subject to change."

but sure, I suppose we can say more.

I guess it's fine then, I've missed that + bit, thinking it was removed. We
are all set then.
