> We should have some annotations so that we can mark classes as public and
> stable vs. in development and unstable. This will help address two issues.
> First, we already get fairly regular emails on the mailing list about
> non-functioning code because we sometimes check in stubbed out code to get
> started on some new code. Sometimes that also makes it into a release (e.g.
> the stubbed out interface for the new consumer). We don't expect that code to
> work, but it's not obvious to users that it shouldn't. Second, we sometimes
> want to be able to check in imperfect draft code because it's new, expected
> to be unstable, and it helps with reviewing to be able to get something
> smaller checked in and then iterate on it.
