there's maturity-level inconsistency like that in a few places, like
when stuff is tagged as EXPERIMENTAL, but labelled as OBSOLETE:
./net/ipv6/netfilter/Kconfig-config IP6_NF_QUEUE
./net/ipv6/netfilter/Kconfig- tristate "IP6 Userspace queueing via NETLINK (OBSOLETE)"
./net/ipv6/netfilter/Kconfig: depends on INET && IPV6 && NETFILTER && EXPERIMENTAL
and other examples:
./net/ipv6/netfilter/Kconfig-config IP6_NF_IPTABLES
./net/ipv6/netfilter/Kconfig- tristate "IP6 tables support (required for filtering)"
./net/ipv6/netfilter/Kconfig: depends on INET && IPV6 && EXPERIMENTAL
...
./net/ipv6/Kconfig-config IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES
./net/ipv6/Kconfig- bool "IPv6: Multiple Routing Tables"
./net/ipv6/Kconfig: depends on IPV6 && EXPERIMENTAL
...
./net/ipv4/Kconfig-config TCP_CONG_HSTCP
./net/ipv4/Kconfig- tristate "High Speed TCP"
./net/ipv4/Kconfig: depends on EXPERIMENTAL
...
./net/rxrpc/Kconfig-config AF_RXRPC
./net/rxrpc/Kconfig- tristate "RxRPC session sockets"
./net/rxrpc/Kconfig: depends on INET && EXPERIMENTAL
...
it might be a better investment in time to look through the Kconfig
files, and decide which entries currently marked as "EXPERIMENTAL"
really *shouldn't* be, and remove those silly dependencies.
