We could even have an "experimental" or "technology preview" distribution.
I like this idea a lot, a whole big lot.

I don't think we should prefix the names, but perhaps we could find
some other means of identifying experimental modules, perhaps using
messages on the startup screen and in the build. E.G.:

the prefixing would be for module names so that it's obvious to
developers which modules are considered experimental

James Mail Server next-major
EXPERIMENTAL MailboxManager has been initialized
Remote Manager  Service started plain:4555
EXPERIMENTAL IMAP Service started plain:10143
POP3  Service started plain:110
etc...

this should also include the version number

and ...

ant -Dinclude=experimental dist
or
ant -Dinclude=stable dist

WDYT?

this raises the issues of profiles: there may be several different
experimental profiles. your example would need to be

ant -Dinclude=<profile>

where <profile> is a particular profile
