Thank-you Brian,
I agree, using "experimental" is misleading. A feature-pack that would
contain experimental features, without any stable contract, following the
WildFly Community Feature Process, should be included in the "default"
space. The stability level used as a Glow parameter could be used to enable
the features lower than community for feature-packs inside this group.
The space name for the "outsiders" feature-packs should reflect this
"outside of the WildFly feature process" notion. "external" could be
such a
name. I was also thinking of "extra" but it could be misleading with the
"wildfly-extra" github organization.
Suggestions are welcome.
Thank-you.

I wonder if we'd be better off using a different term than
'experimental'.
I don't know if there's a 1:1 relationship between server stability levels
and the potential categories of feature packs. Using a feature stability
level name as a term implies there is.
A clear dividing line I see is whether the developers behind a feature
pack are carefully following the WF Community Feature Process or not. If
they are, then the feature pack can include elements at all sorts of
stabilities, as 'wildfly-ee' itself does.
I've used the term 'incubating' before, but that's not quite right
either.
There can be feature packs that are not at all incubating from the POV of
their authors, but their development is not following or cannot be
confirmed to be following our processes.
