Open your jack1 code. Add shortened words to that effect on
  each experimental command-line option you want. Push. Done.

QJackctl team then then adds an "Experimental" tab, and moves
  option items to it, that you marked so, or hides them completely -
  it's their decision.

Advanced tab = "Yeah, you might need these."
Experimental tab = "Hands off, fool!"

Problem solved. Everyone happy. No?
