Is there a notion of silent preview (possible) in our release scheme? Maybe accompanied with a big nullification of warranty. It seems we don't have anything like 'experimental'; a class of features that maybe removed for reasons explicable to the greater public. It seems like whatever we do we will paint ourselfs in the corner while we would want to segregate between core functionality that will be supported till the foreseeable end of time and features of which we are not yet sure they are as such useful. (I should start a [DISCUSS] but i think it is very applicable to this feature.)
