I personally find the words "still experimental" quite scary :-)

And potential users who agree with me on this might end up being
scared away from the 'parallel-testsuite' feature, despite its
great advantages and indisputable superiority -- which would be
pretty sad IMHO.

But than again, I might be the only "coward" here that is scared
so easily :-)

So your call in the end.
