Currently, the only way our customers get to know if a component is tech preview or not is via the docs; this is technically fine but as an end user I'd expect a more obvious way to know about this. For example, in the 1.7 release, Chains and PAC are tech preview and users who install Pipelines for the first time as 1.7 (or are auto upgraded from 1.6.x) without reading the docs, might never find out that these components are tech preview.

As an end user, I'd expect that when I'm interacting with a component that's tech preview, the software should tell me to proceed with caution as this is tech preview.

I'd expect the tech preview information to be relayed to me at all interfaces where I can interact with the component:

• via tkn
  when I run `tkn pac` or `tkn chains` commands, I'd expect the following output:

$ tkn chains payload
Tekton Chains is currently in tech-preview, it might not be suitable for production workloads yet.

<command output>

• via UI
  When I create/view TektonChain CR in the UI, or create a new TektonChains or PAC instance, etc, I expect to see a header on the page which reads

  Tekton Chains is currently in tech-preview, it might not be suitable for production workloads yet.
  

• via oc commands
  Not sure if this is possible, but when I create a TektonChain CR in the cluster, I expect the admission controller to output the fact that this component is in tech-preview, etc.

There could be other interfaces where this information could be exposed, which will become clearer when someone picks this up.
