Right, the plan is to provide whatever occurs in the experimental area
as part of snapshot releases,
but not to propagate that as part of stable releases.
The main reason for preventing experimental stuff at stable releases is
mainly to avoid false expectations related to support
and further development for whatever happens there.
The main driver to maintain the experimental stuff with snapshots is to
provide an easy way how to try and provide feedback.

There were some issues deploying experimental stuff with recent
1.3-SNAPSHOT builds, which i am going to address,
so that you get fresh bits with 1.3-SNAPSHOTs soonish,
