Hi all!

A concern was raised off list that due to the complexity of the way this 
feature interacts with the engine, it may be best to mark the feature as 
experimental. This would allow some changes to be made to certain edge-case 
behaviors and, while I don't think it would be necessary, the public API.

We (Niklas and I) agree with this and propose that if this feature is accepted, 
it is marked as experimental through the 8.x release cycle or until we're 
comfortable removing that label, whichever comes first.

Experimental in this context would mean fibers would be compiled and available 
in all releases, but the documentation would denote that behavioral and API 
changes may be made in future minor releases – use at your own risk.

As this feature is targeted at library authors and not average PHP users, we 
believe there would be little effect to the community to take this step.

Cheers,
Aaron Piotrowski
