All of this would be resolved if Google called these projects experimental.

This is a significant distinction. It's also a massive deterrent. Who builds on experimental? Google isn't incentivized to do this. So, everything new Google puts out is hence, experimental.

It's not an old joke. You're just getting tired of it.

You're basically invalidating all of these engineers who believe in a thing called "trust," and undervaluing it with a statement like this.

They're calling it a "technical test", how is that not equivalent to experimental?
