I am looking forward to a decade of fewer API breaking changes. However, 1.0 introduces a new column type for strings, recommends its use over the old "object" column type, yet says it is "Experimental and may change at any time."

How are we supposed to interpret this in light of the promise that there will be no more API breakages until 2.0? It reads as if this promise does not apply to string data, which impacts rather a lot of use cases.
