I'd say the opposite: the thing we lack is exactly testing, in the
sense of how non-hackers will react to this. Nonetheless, I'm not
upset about trying to do it now. We will get more feedback about
major-release notes than minor-release notes. And the key point
is that it's okay to consider this experimental. Unlike say a SQL
feature, there are no compatibility concerns that put a premium on
getting it right the first time. We can adjust the annotations or
give up on them without much cost.
