Indeed that seems long enough to declare it non-experimental. So I
propose removing that phrase and just say "The command
`customize-mode' uses this", as in the current docstring of
`define-derived-modes'. Any objections?

AFAICT it always allowed entering any mode with a prefix argument,
it's just a matter of updating prompt and docstring (cf
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23649).
