This change adds the Tekton Enhancement Proposal for `Custom Tasks` Graduation. Today, `Custom Tasks` shared by the Tekton community are all *experimental*, and we don't have a process to promote them beyond *experimental*. As such: - Users can't depend on the `Custom Tasks` because they can change any time, they may not reflect the Tekton roadmap and they may not meet the Tekton standards because they haven't been reviewed in a Tekton Enhancement Proposal. - Contributors don't have a process to stabilize their `Custom Tasks` or integrate them to the *Tekton Pipelines API*. In this TEP, we aim to: - Define the graduation requirements path for `Custom Tasks`. - Provide `Custom Tasks` that are officially supported by Tekton and have stability guarantees. `Custom Tasks` will have four stability levels in their graduation path: 1. *Experimental*: `Custom Tasks` can change any time, [*alpha* API policy][api-policy] applies, as we are iterating on them. 2. *Stable*: `Custom Tasks` are stable, [*beta* API policy][api-policy] applies, and have been approved in a TEP. 3. *Packaged*: `Custom Tasks` are shipped with *Tekton Pipelines* releases, so are available for use out of the box. 4. *Integrated*: `Custom Tasks`' functionalities are natively supported in the *Tekton Pipelines API*. The *Tekton Pipelines* owners have the discretion to expedite the graduation process of a given `Custom Task`, such as when they agree early on that they want to integrate the functionality provided by the `Custom Task` directly to the *Tekton Pipelines API*.
