Possibility to include prototype plugins?

[rnyb]

Current practice is that new plugins are not pushed before they have matured to a "stable" level.

Could it be beneficial to push development/prototype versions? This would make it easier for others to test and give feedback in the development process of a plugin instead of after or very late in the process.

There's obviously a risk with such an approach as protype plugins can be changed or removed without notice, so it would need some way of clearly letting end-users understand it's a prototype/dev version.

One suggestion could be to include "prototype" prefix in the plugin names. One could also add a warning text in the doc clearly stating this is a prototype that can be changed/removed at any time.
