Christopher Tubbs resolved ACCUMULO-2593.
-----------------------------------------
       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 1.7.0)

I'm closing this as "Won't Fix". Guava's @Beta annotation satisfies every goal I had in mind for this, and in any case, API stability should be subject to project-wide guidelines.

> Conveying information about the stability of the API over time can be difficult.
> We should create annotations with well-defined semantics to convey information, like whether a class/method is "experimental" or "stable" or something else, and what those mean. These annotations should be well documented.
