No, it's behind a flag, so you can't really say that we're 
shipping it as "production ready release".
In fact I think we should have a hell of a lot more of such 
experimental flags.
This would allow us to be able to merge things quickly, and gain 
real-world feedback and testing on complicated matters instead of 
PRs stalling to death in the queue.

For reference, Rust has currently 148 opt-in experimental 
language features:
