It seems we have a slight preference for experimental, I'll change the
prop name

I don't mind - yet just to clarify: This feature doesn't add scenarios that
couldn't arise before as clarified in the docs.
Apache Felix supports (and since quite a long time supported) having
multiple versions of bundles installed - we just didn't provide install
options (beyond feature launcher or custom code) that would install it that
way.
The "new" behavior is eliminating a lot of the upgrade and state handling
magic we had before that did break before and could corrupt installer
states quite easily.
The most prominent always repeated case of concurrent packages did always
exist as the BSN doesn't have anything to do with the packages that are
exported - different versions of bundles may export different packages and
different bundles may export the same packages. Therefore this feature
doesn't open a new problem space yet it makes it more likely to hit you
early in the face were those issues were often missed in first place in the
past and led to unexpected behavior.

+1 for adding „experimental“ to the property name
(I‘m both excited about future possibilities and worried about
consequences when lightheartedly being turning on)

Hi,
There was a discussion about this in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9172
For now I have marked this feature as being experimental at
https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/osgi-installer.html#multi-version-support
Carsten rightly notes that if we consider it experimental we might
want to rename to service property that activates it to
sling.installer.experimental.multiversion=true
Is anyone opposed to adding that "experimental" qualifier in the
property name?
This helps avoid people using it without being aware of its status.
