I definitely won’t give an R-b for this one, because that would require
me reviewing the AQMP series, and, well, you know.


Yep, no worries. I'd feel bad if you started digging into it. Not the best use of your time. I am trying to shield you from this junk, not pull you into it.

(but, I hope the new library is easy to use. I went out of my way to make sure the transition would be as seamless as possible for iotest writers, and I genuinely hope I achieved that. Though as you've seen, there's a few messy bits -- One of the reasons for sending this series out to list so soon was precisely to force someone to witness the ugly bits so I could align my thinking on how best to address them.)

Also, if I were to review the AQMP series and could actually give R-bs
in good faith, why would I accept adding this message?  I mean, if I’d
reviewed it, I’d’ve had to trust it.

So, öhm, I’m fine with dropping this message because evidently I’d’ve
never agreed to adding it in the first place (had I reviewed the AQMP
series).

I added as a pre-emptive mollification, it's been in my series for a while. I jokingly refer to it as "tech preview". The asyncio stuff is fairly new (even to Python programmers) and though I have tried my very hardest to test that library as thoroughly as I possibly could, it seems like everyone's reaction has been "Ah jeez, I dunno if I can truly review this" so I added a little warning to ease minds a bit and try to make people feel like they were committing to less.
