The problem is that people are now used to perpetual beta [1] and as a
consequence they expect experimental versions to by fully working except
for some new cool stuff. For me experimental means that it might not work
but some other people may think more about new features. So that's why I
think is important to have the note and the download link as close as
possible.

Best,
Vaclav
