+This section describes the notion of *experimental features*, and how it fits into the big picture of the development of Nix.
+
+# What are experimental features?
+
+Experimental features are considered unstable, which means that they can be changed or removed at any time.
+Users must explicitly enable them by toggling the associated [experimental feature flags](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-experimental-features).
+This allows accessing unstable functionality without unwittingly relying on it.
+
+Experimental feature flags were first introduced in [Nix 2.4](@docroot@/release-notes/rl-2.4.md).
+Before that, Nix did have experimental features, but they were not guarded by flags and were merely documented as unstable.
+This was a source of confusion and controversy.
+
+# When should a new feature be marked experimental?
+
+A change in the Nix codebase should be guarded by an experimental feature flag if it is considered likely to be reverted or adapted in a backwards-incompatible manner after gathering more experience with it in practice.
+
+Examples:
+
+- Changes to the Nix language, such as new built-ins, syntactic or semantic changes, etc.
+- Changes to the command-line interface
+
+# Lifecycle of an experimental feature
+
+Experimental features have to be treated on a case-by-case basis.
+However, the standard workflow for an experimental feature is as follows:
+
+- A new feature is implemented in a *pull request*
+  - It is guarded by an experimental feature flag that is disabled by default
+- The pull request is merged, the *experimental* feature ends up in a release
+    - Using the feature requires explicitly enabling it, signifying awareness of the potential risks
+    - Being experimental, the feature can still be changed arbitrarily
+- The feature can be *removed*
+  - The associated experimental feature flag is also removed
+- The feature can be declared *stable*
+  - The associated experimental feature flag is removed
+  - There should be enough evidence of users having tried the feature, such as feedback, fixed bugs, demonstrations of how it is put to use
+  - Maintainers must feel confident that:
+    - The feature is designed and implemented sensibly, that it is fit for purpose
+    - Potential interactions are well-understood
+    - Stabilising the feature will not incur an outsized maintenance burden in the future
+
+The following diagram illustrates the process:
+
+```
+                  .------.
+                  | idea |
+                  '------'

+       +--------+             +---------+
+```
+
+# Relation to the RFC process
+
+Experimental features and [RFCs](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/) both allow approaching substantial changes while minimizing the risk.
+However they serve different purposes:
+
+- An experimental feature enables developers to iterate on and deliver a new idea without committing to it or requiring a costly long-running fork.
+  It is primarily an issue of *implementation*, targeting Nix developers and early testers.
+- The goal of an RFC is to make explicit all the implications of a change:
+  Explain why it is wanted, which new use-cases it enables, which interface changes it requires, etc.
+  It is primarily an issue of *design* and *communication*, targeting the broader community.
+
+This means that experimental features and RFCs are orthogonal mechanisms, and can be used independently or together as needed.
