When do experimental packages turn stable?

Hi,

I recently ran into a gnu emacs compat issue[*] that I learned has been =

dealt with in fsf-compat 1.24. Looking through /pub/packages, I found =

1.19. Grovelling deeper, I came across /pub/beta/experimental/packages, =

which indeed has 1.24.

My question: What is the relationship between the two directories? When =

do "experimental" packages move to /pub/packages? And, with my pkgsrc =

hat on: Under which circumstances would it be fine to package the =

content of /pub/beta/experimental/packages?

Cheerio,
hauke
