Qt has many components that are in either tech preview/experimental status.
This kind of components are not officially supported yet but available for the users to try out.
For example Conan was piloted until 2022 December:
https://www.qt.io/blog/conan-package-manager-pilot-to-end-in-december
but the experimental plugin remains and the documentation about it:
https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-conan.html
https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-build-settings-conan.html
https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/qtcreator-attribution-conan-cmake.html
Nothing in the documentation points out that the component is no longer supported.
Could there be note/warning in the documentation about all "unfinished" components being tech preview/experimental that the users know that status and do not expect official support for them?
