-  new clustering coming in Akka Coltrane and is not available in the latest stable release.
-  The API might change before it is released.
+.. note:: This module is :ref:`experimental <experimental>`. This document describes how to use the features implemented so far. More features are coming in Akka Coltrane.

+Experimental Modules
+####################
+
+The following modules of Akka are marked as experimental, which means
+that they are in early access mode. The purpose of releasing them
+early, as experimental, is to make them easily available and improve
+based on feedback, or even discover that the module wasn't useful.
+
+An experimental module doesn't have to obey the rule of staying binary
+compatible between minor releases. Breaking API changes may be introduced
+in minor releases without notice as we refine and simplify based on your
+feedback. An experimental module may be dropped in major releases without 
+prior deprecation.
+
+Another reason for marking a module as experimental is that it's too early
+to tell if the module has a maintainer that can take the responsibility
+of the module over time.
