I never really understood the purpose of these "suites", nor did I feel the XSF 
is pushing them (last one is Deferred).

Nonetheless, here are my thoughts (assuming it should be some kind of 
recommendation or list of "important features"):

I don't like the idea to include Experimental specs in an "Implementation 
Recommendation / Best Practices / Suite" document. On the one hand you (XSF) 
recommend to implement/deploy it, on the other "Experimental" only encourages 
exploratory implementations.

The suggested list also feels a bit arbitrary:
I think File Transfer capabilities, vCard or Delayed Delivery are more 
important features, than delivery receipts or CSI. (That's also why the XMPP 
community has already specified and implemented them many years ago)

The same for PubSub, which is missing, although it seems to become more and 
more important.

But I think the only really important XEPs, that should be on the list, are 
XEP-0045 and XEP-0198.
The rest more or less feels like "nice-to-have" features (e.g. Carbons, Chat 
States, CSI, ..).
They could as well be "Idle Time", "Roster Item Exchange" or "Message 
Correction", depending on personal opinions/preferences.
