Why is `Microsoft.AspNetCore.ClientAssets` still experimental and not released as stable?

[gumbarros]

The Microsoft.AspNetCore.ClientAssets package has been listed as experimental for several years and still appears under https://github.com/aspnet/AspLabs and NuGet pre-release status. The package solves a real problem for Razor Class Libraries that need integrated client-side build pipelines, and the manual MSBuild alternative is significantly more complex.

Given that:

• The package has existed for 2 years
• The functionality is stable and widely applicable
• The RCL ecosystem still needs an official, supported workflow for frontend asset building

Why has Microsoft.AspNetCore.ClientAssets not progressed beyond experimental? Is the package abandoned?

This will help teams like mine decide whether to adopt the package or do manual work using MSBuild. Is there a better alternative?
