This is what the GMail post says:
We've received a lot of positive feedback about Gmail Labs, and we've found that testing something in Labs can be a good way to help decide whether it should become a regular part of Gmail. So we decided to extend the same model to Google Calendar.

If you are a developer you will be happy to know that google has also released and experimental API for Calendar.
