Gregg, The ‘experimental’ directories is a result of a conversation that was held here on iotivity-dev a while ago. We wanted a way to introduce new features that we felt did not have enough developer exposure to really harden the API. It is still feature complete. We want a way to give the developer community access to new features but leave us the freedom to change the APIs without going through a deprecation process.
The decision was to use the term ‘experimental’ it makes it clear that it could change but is more complete than ‘alpha’ or ‘beta’ code. I hope that answers the question. Since I have not put anything in ‘experimental’ directories I will leave it to anyone else that feels my explanation needs more clarification.
