Back in 0.14.0, we called "Resource Reservations" and the Jenkins plugin 
"experimental", and then in 0.19.0 we referred to the external containerizer as 
"alpha", so we're already mixing terminology. I went with "experimental" 
because that's what we've used in conversation, and that's what the revocable 
resources line already said. If we're going to distinguish between alpha vs. 
beta, it'd be good to have a clear distinction. I usually think of alpha as 
"for internal testing" and beta "for public testing", but that doesn't apply to 
open-source.
