We've talked in the WebGL WG, and we think there's no longer a compelling reason to have an "experimental-webgl2" phase:
* We can release previews hidden behind flags.
* We can't release something unsafe to the general web anyway.
* If webgl2 is safe, we can just call it "webgl2".

I hope that Khronos test get updated to ask for webgl2 then...

It asks for 'webgl2', then 'experimental-webgl2'.

I thought "experimental-" was "We have an implementation, it hasn't passed the conformance suite yet", not a commentary on its safety... basically a way to get not-100%-conformant implementations out there so that people can tinker without fiddling with flags?

Non-experimental already doesn't mean much. It only means that some previous version of the product has passed some previous version of the conformance tests. If we want a way to query how conformance an implementation can be claimed to be, we really need an API for it that's more specific than the current experimental/non-experimental division.

We will likely expose 'webgl2' contexts before we can claim webgl2 conformance.
