----------------------------------------------------------

Having moved VJET from Central (core site) to the new Central Early Access site, there's nothing on the JBDS Central site that uses the "Experimental" certificationId any more.

The only remaining place where "Experimental" is described as a certification level is therefore here:

https://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/8.0/central/

That said, we have features in JBDS 8 / JBT 4.2 which are still labelled "Experimental":

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-arquillian/blob/master/features/org.jboss.tools.arquillian.feature/feature.properties#L18

> It's been suggested that it would be nice to have Central available to install non-GA content. How might this appear?
>  [~burrsutter], [~maxandersen], are we talking about:
> * an additional dialog warning users about untested content? (that might be ignored / blindclicked)
> * an additional tab in Central for this type of content (what label would you use?)
> * relabelling the content's feature descriptions / titles / copyright / license terms to be clear it's unstable content? (might be ignored)
> * some other workflow?
> See also JBDS-2068.
