I used the same form than in the abi policy (that I wanted but forgot
to update in patch 1 afterwards... will be fixed in v2).

#. Libraries or APIs marked as :ref:`experimental <experimental_apis>` may
   change without constraint, as they are not considered part of an ABI version.
   Experimental libraries have the major ABI version ``0``.

No strong opinion, but I prefer keeping a single phrasing.
If we go with your suggestion, I will update the abi policy.
