Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-8485:
--------------------------------------------
Checken and egg: we can't ship before committing to the API and we can't
commit to the API before shipping. I think it's actually the second point that
needs to bend. We need to review the APIs and remove the experimental tag.
Let's not ask anyone to code to an unstable API.
> Finish experiments and commit

> Key: MNG-8485
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8485
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0-rc-2
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Roughly 200 classes and interfaces in Maven core are annotated
> `@Experimental` . There might be a reason to ship a few things in 4.0 that
> might still change but 200 is far too many. Commit to these APIs (i.e. remove
> the annotation) or fix and/or remove those types.
> Ar least some of them such as org.apache.maven.api.services.BaseRequest are
> already package protected, in which case we don't need the annotation at all.
