     - Compilation of the query and any associated libraries and tests must be resilient to future development of the [supported](docs/supported-queries.md) libraries. This means that the functionality cannot use internal libraries, cannot depend on the output of `getAQlClass`, and cannot make use of regexp matching on `toString`.

+Experimental queries and libraries may not be actively maintained as the [supported](docs/supported-queries.md) libraries evolve. They may also be changed in backwards-incompatible ways or may be removed entirely in the future without deprecation warnings.
 
 After the experimental query is merged, we welcome pull requests to improve it. Before a query can be moved out of the `experimental` subdirectory, it must satisfy [the requirements for being a supported query](docs/supported-queries.md).
