When per build type templates were introduced for ROS 2 support, little thought was given to how the number of build types might expand in the future. I think that there's good fodder for a rethink of the build type handling in general, but in the meantime I would like to introduce this concept and a small warning to signify the possibility that these new build types are outside the focus of the core infrastructure team.
The initial criteria for a build type being "experimental" is that it's novel.
Criteria for graduating from an experimental build type to normal one is not currently settled.
