More seriously, are we confident that the overall worktree support
is mature enough by now that once we add an experimental feature X
at version 1, we can promise to keep maintaining it forever at
version N for any positive integer N?  I hate to sound overly
negative, but I am getting an impression that we are not quite
there, and it is still not ready for production use.

It would be beneficial both for us and our users if we can keep our
hand untied for at least several more releases to allow us try
various random experimental features, fully intending to drop any of
them if the ideas do not pan out.
