Slightly wordy - suggest making it a small bit more concise as follows. 

* traffic manager: All traffic manager API's in ``rte_tm.h`` were mistakenly made 
 abi stable in the v19.11 release. The TM maintainer and other contributor's have 
 agreed to keep the TM API's as experimental in expectation of additional spec 
 improvements. Therefore, all API's in ``rte_tm.h`` will be marked back as 
 experimental in v20.11 DPDK release. For more detail, please see `the thread
 <https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-April/164970.html>`_.
