The linked URL doesn't really explain, what does "stable" mean here?

It was marked as experimental earlier on, the docs linked are the stable version + how to use it.

The admonition at the top:

  Currently, the default build backend for uv init is hatchling. This will change to uv in a future version.
makes it seem like it's not yet stable, or at least feels like they're still not encouraging it.

We consider it a breaking change to switch the default, so that's coming a bit later.
