Criteria for "graduation" ------------------------- I think you also need "Criteria for being placed in preview". Do we just toss everything someone suggests in?

I hoped to have this covered by:

"In any case, modules that are proposed to be added to the standard library, whether via preview or directly, must fulfill the acceptance conditions set by PEP 2."

PEP 2 is quite detailed and I saw no need to repeat large chunks of it here. The idea is that all the same restrictions and caveats apply. The thing that goes away is promise for future API stability.
