True, but isn't it a little bit too close to the implementation for the scope of this amendment? I'm currently working on a separate RFC for the specifics of the experimental status, in addition to all the other lifetimes. |

Yeah, let's keep the annotation stuff to RFC 13, which formally defines the implementation of experimental features. |

Rendered
Everything needed for the initial RFC is here, but there will be more to explain in a separate RFC once this one is merged, and working groups are ready.
Reasoning
Experimental features are really needed to prevent incrementing the major / minor version every time a change is made to the user facing APIs, and allow for staged testing before a general availability.
This system is used successfully in rust's standard library, and bring safety for developers, that are sure of the quality of each function called.
