Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek bc97e77ba7 man: reword "experimental" blurbs to be more accurate
The text implied that the changes may happen randomly at any time.
Obviously, they can only happen after an update, but also we're unlikely
to do that not on a major release boundary. So town down that part of the
message. At the same time, it's important that the change might just
happen. For stable features, we also sometimes implement incompatible
changes, but this is preceded by announcements and lengthy deprecation
periods. So use the phrase "without advance notice".

OTOH, the text implicitly promised future stabilization. This might or
might not happen, so remind the users that it might not.
