I'm afraid Derick's response was somewhat incorrect. Here is a more precise
answer to your question.
Whenever the developer can be bothered to remove the EXPERIMENTAL file. The
probability of said event is somewhere between your chances of winning a
lottery and getting hit a by car. You can however increase the probability of
the extension becoming "stable" by making meaningful contributions such as
writing patches and/or giving developer(s) incentives to put more time
towards extension's development.
