I think the "experimental" language at the top of the page is fine for  
now.  If we suddenly get a flurry of complaints saying "Hey, this  
experimental feature ate my thesis and I can't graduate", which seems  
unlikely, then I might want to consider slightly stronger language,  
but for now, it's fine.

Note that documenting other installation methods (PXE, LiveCD) is  
currently on my list of things to do, and when that happens we can  
move this on to the /install page (or a link from the install page)
