The initial commit attached to that message was the start of the experiment. Are you reading the first message as if it was the last?

It was merged after 3 months and a huge number of incremental commits. The code that was merged was completely different than the code used to open the experimental WIP PR

Why is it a criticism that they started as a work in progress experiment? That’s how experiments work. It’s normal to push code as a work in progress PR and then add to it over time.
