Hi 👋

Not stable for inheritance

StateFlow interface is not stable for inheritance in 3rd party libraries, as new methods might be added to this interface in the future, but is stable for use. Use MutableStateFlow() constructor function to create an implementation.

Question: I am writing a library. Internally I use a MutableStateFlow . I don’t expose it directly but I expose is as a Flow<T>. Also, I am using the constructor. I don’t implement the interface itself.

1. Does this mean that I don’t need to worry about this warning?
2. Does this mean that ``@ExperimentalCoroutinesApi`` in that class doesn’t need to worry me?
