What about the idea of requiring new Experimental documents to include text that indicates when the experiment is to be considered completed absent new work on it? Essentially, the document declares a date by which the experiment is considered concluded, and code points automatically deprecated, and the document itself goes to Historic status, unless some other document action updates the deadline or moves the work to the Standards Track.
If you factor in the historic success rate that engineers typically have
in predicting s/w development schedules, I would expect that the overrun
rate on predicted end exp dates would be close to 100%, even after
several extensions.
