Package scope fixture: experimental status?

See original GitHub issue

Just noticed that package scope is still marked as experimental:

https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/fixture.html#package-scope-experimental

Should we remove that warning and mark it as official for 6.0?

Thank You for keeping it. Salt’s test suite depends heavily on subprocesses which run some daemons. Historically we started the daemons at the start of the test suite and stopped them at the end. These daemons are not required for unit tests or functional tests, so the package scope, when properly working, solves this issue for us.
