We admins are those who are responsible for very large deployments in
corporations, where any glitch has a cost of several calls for the help desk.

Experimental features are good for home hackers, developers or home users, but
may turn into a nightmare for IT managers, if their users start questioning
what are those "unstable" features. 

<sarcasm> As one may already know, end-users are *never* wrong, "everything was
fine yesterday", "I did nothing and it broke by itself", "I always did that way
and now it doesn't work anymore". etc... </sarcasm> 

So if admins can hide unstable features to the end-user, they will avoid users
breaking their installation or calling the help desk. 

Note that I am not asking to remove the unstable option, just configure the
option of its visibility. The default for example should be "on" (displayed).
