We have experimental modules, now what?

A critical part of how Drupal 8 allows tinkering and innovation is through experimental modules. While we shortened the release cycle of significant Drupal 8 improvements to twice a year, some things just need more time to be fully built and stable. This is what experimental modules in core enable, while allowing us to put the new improvements to a wider test. There are definitely upsides and downsides to this process and we will discuss these in detail:

• What kind of improvements are destined to be experimental modules?
• What about experimental installation profiles?
• Where did the experimental module process help and fail us?
• Do we have too many or not enough experimental modules?
• How do we ensure that experimental modules mature to stable soon enough?

I will also try to get some key experimental module authors either as a panel or in the audience, as appropriate and as it is possible to fit with the schedule. To be confirmed.
