It is as much nonsense as your example that doesn't work out for that.

Communication with all the parties, looking into history cases, looking
into other cases and more was done by the QA team; if there is still an
unknown unknown, it is due to the lack of knowledge codification.

It is what brought the QA team to a slow start, as there were barely
documents available besides a GLEP and a small set of documentation;
this is noticeable in other areas of our distribution as well, your
example demonstrates the importance of knowledge codification here.

Marking it as experimental keeps everyone happy.
