README.md: clarify API stability

We need the ability to make experimental changes without new definitions
immediately becoming part of the stable v2 API.

+## Release versioning
+
+Semantic versioning is used in this repository. It contains several Go modules
+with different levels of stability:
+- `k8s.io/klog/v2` - stable API, `vX.Y.Z` tags
+- `k8s.io/tools` - no stable API yet (may change eventually), `tools/v0.Y.Z` tags
+- `examples` - no stable API, no tags, no intention to ever stabilize
+
+Exempt from the API stability guarantee are items (packages, functions, etc.)
+which are marked explicitly as `EXPERIMENTAL` in their document comment. Those
+may still change in incompatible ways or get removed entirely.
