[erlang-questions] Is on_load official?

[Gleb Peregud]

Hello OTP team

Is on_load official and can be considered stable? In "Compilation and
Code loading"[1] it is said (last sentence is the most interesting
part):

=======================================================
Warning

This section describes an experimental feature that
was introduced in R13B03, and changed in a
backwards-incompatible way in R13B04. *There may be more
backward-incompatible changes in future releases*.
=======================================================

but in "man erl_nif" it is said that "The NIF concept is officially
supported from R14B"[2]

I think those two statements are a bit conflicting, since on_load is a
standard method of loading NIF implementation libraries.

Comments?

Thanks!
