I consider PyOpenCL’s API “stable”. That doesn’t mean it can’t change. But if it does, your code will generally continue to run. It may however start spewing warnings about things you need to change to stay compatible with future versions.
Deprecation warnings will be around for a whole release cycle, as identified by the second number in the release name. (the “90” in “0.90”) Further, the stability promise applies for any code that’s part of a released version. It doesn’t apply to undocumented bits of the API, and it doesn’t apply to unreleased code downloaded from git.
