Hmm, maybe we want it to only described on pages clearly intended
for developers (the task, not the status) only? No opinion on that
yet but it could be one reason there isn't such a description yet.
/distrib/packages also hasn't a link to the experimental package
pages and that _is_ intentional.
Why?
Information should be as easy accessable as possible.
The /distrib/packages is the page, which I use mostly - with "Search
package directories" "Distribution: any". For me, the most important
information is, which version of a package is in which distribution,
before I decide to install it from stable, testing or (sometimes) from
unstable. If a newer version is in experimental, is a very important
information.
From the view of usability, this is one of the things, that makes the
structure of debian-web so confusing. It's the lack of a simple
understandable information architecture. If there are distributions in
_reality_ like stable, testing, unstable, experimental (and "archived"
maybe), then support all of them (nearly) in the same way in an user
interface.
