Have then been any future features that were added provisionally? I can't either, but ISTR hearing that from future import was started with such an intent. Irrespective, it's hard to import something from "future" without at least suspecting that you're on the bleeding edge.
No, this was not the intent of future. The intent is that a feature is desirable but also backwards incompatible (e.g. introduces a new keyword) so that for 1 (sometimes more) releases we require the users to use the future import.
There was never any intent to use future for experimental features. If we want that maybe we could have from experimental import .
