Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-16375:
---------------------------------------------

We will *NEVER* have supported and never non-supported stuff of the same content on same site. That will mess up p2 install experience anyway.

What is important is that we consider what happens when the user removes "allow early access"  - should/could we remove the earlyaccess sites so he wont get it via normal p2 usage "by accident"

> In order to make it easier for people to consume some "Beta" extensions from JBT or JBDS release (such as installing a Beta of JBT-IS on top of a JBT release), it would make sense to have Central allow users to select some catalogs in a UI entry such as "Include Experimental stuff" to show additional catalog entries.
> Either this could be a single catalog with the experimental content being annotated, or it could be 2 (or more catalogs) which have different quality levels.
> The Central UI will need to give feedback on the quality level for a given entry ("supported" or "experimental" or ...).
