@Simon Marlow agreed. The choice of -experimental is too contentious in meaning. The proposal needs to be rewritten using a different flag name.
The whole confusion seems to stem from the fact that "experimental" means vastly different things to different people.

I was asked to shepherd this proposal, but reading through it doesn't look like we're in a state to make a decision yet.
  • The proposal itself still has some outstanding issues raised in the comment thread
  • It interacts and overlaps with "Fortified Language Editions", and it doesn't make a lot of sense (to me at least) to consider these proposals separately.
So for now I'm going to put this back in needs-revision

Cheers
Simon
