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.
