| Features often start out in "experimental" status that indicates they are still evolving. |
| This can mean any of the following things: |
| |
| 1. The feature's API may change even in minor releases or patch releases. |
| 2. The feature may have known "missing" pieces that will be added later. |
| 3. The feature may or may not have received full battle-testing in production environments. |
| |
| All experimental features are optional. |
| |
| Note that not all of these points apply to every experimental feature. Some have been battle-tested in terms of |
| implementation, but are still marked experimental due to an evolving API. Please check the documentation for each |
| feature for full details. |
