I think this was rejected in the past because it may include features thought
or meant to be stable, just too "new" to be enabled for everyone at once.

No idea if "Laboratory" is better than "Beta", they seem equally generic.
"Beta" is just the most common way across the web/software industry to brand
something as "the last thing" and tell people not to blame you if it breaks
something; it doesn't have "a meaning" apart from that. I don't know if
"Laboratory" has an equally wide usage/understanding.
The main confusion here might be that not all features branded "beta" are
controlled by this "beta" general switch; no idea if this is temporary.
