 This is the reference documentation for the \pkg{expl3}
-programming environment. The \pkg{expl3} modules set up an experimental
-naming scheme for \LaTeX{} commands, which allow the \LaTeX{} programmer
+programming environment. The \pkg{expl3} modules set up a
+naming scheme for coding, which allow the \LaTeX{} programmer
 to systematically name functions and variables, and specify the argument
 types of functions.
 
 The \TeX{} and \eTeX{} primitives are all given a new name according to
 these conventions. However, in the main direct use of the primitives is
 not required or encouraged: the \pkg{expl3} modules define an
-independent low-level \LaTeX3 programming language.
-
-At present, the \pkg{expl3} modules are designed to be loaded on top of
-\LaTeXe{}. In time, a \LaTeX3 format will be produced based on this code.
-This allows the code to be used in \LaTeXe{} packages \emph{now} while a
-stand-alone \LaTeX3 is developed.
-
-\begin{bfseries}
-  While \pkg{expl3} is still experimental, the bundle is now regarded as
-  broadly stable. The syntax conventions and functions provided are now
-  ready for wider use. There may still be changes to some functions, but
-  these will be minor when compared to the scope of \pkg{expl3}.
-
-  New modules will be added to the distributed version of \pkg{expl3} as
-  they reach maturity.
