Updating Beta feature template for experiment features only

Gabriel Engel requested to merge gabrielengel_gl-master-patch-c31f into master

Why is this change being made?

Beta features currently can be both a top, primary, or secondary feature in the general section or in a dedicated beta section of the release post. This leads to confusion when reading through the release post and is updated so Beta features will always be in the general section and there is only a dedicated section for Features in Experiment.

This change updates:

  • beta_features.yml to experiment_features.yml template
  • Release Post rendering logic to include a section for Features in Experiment
  • 16.11 release post items to use experiment release post item category instead of beta
