Where's the problem? Newbies certainly should not be using such in production applications, although it's an excellent way to learn everything you always wanted to know about Python internals but were afraid to ask (and more!)
What's the point in developing code you won't use? preview features don't have a Roadmap, so you may wait forever to release you package into production. With indefinite release cycle preview will become useless for the most people, who will quickly lose enthusiasm to use preview and continuously update their code for API breaks.
