And given that permanently deleting something from __preview__ would be 
a big deal (deciding it didn't make the grade and should never 
graduate), the criteria shouldn't be much less strict than for adopting 
a package into the standard library.

i.e. once something gets into __preview__ people are going to assume it 
will graduate at some point - __preview__ is a place for apis to 
stabilise and mature, not a place for dubious libraries that we may or 
may not want in the standard library at some point.
