Description
When pushing preview API surface that we don't expect to stabilize in a release, we have historically put it in a special `Microsoft.Build.Experimental` namespace, to indicate to consumers that the usual backward-compatibility guarantees did not apply. The .NET platform now has a [`RequiresPreviewFeatures` attribute](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.runtime.versioning.requirespreviewfeaturesattribute) that can be used to indicate the same, without the final "promotion to production-ready" change being a breaking change. We should consider using it for new experimental features and potentially moving everything that is currently in the Experimental namespace to the new mechanism.
