Can we solve this? It seems like for lucene users, they currently only
have this choice:

A. no access to feature X at all

but, couldn't they at least have this choice:

A. no access to feature X at all
B. having access to some feature, but it has relaxed backwards
compatibility to address the concern.

In other words, we could mark the api @experimental or whatever, and
the user can choose not to use it from a lucene level if they don't
want to deal with upgrade hassles.
