this gets to the discussion of how the lifecycle of experimental features is tracked i haven t caught up on the other thread re naming but i think that a really important aspect of improving experimental features is going to be ensuring that they re always tagged with a tracking issue that explains their status

but possibly only <https github com pantsbuild pants issues 12794>
