I know that and there are a lot more things depending on 'EXPERIMENTAL' and not having 
EXPERIMENTAL visible all over the tree but that patch I've made for the _net_ part got 
NACK'ed while your maturity idea and I rm -rf'ed all the other.

This one has a missing depends on EXPERIMENTAL while saying it is.

So *could* we please stop this maturity stuff for now ? I don't see it in .23 nor .24 if at all.

And even you get this kind changes for .24 almost a sed line will cleanup the whole tree from :

... "FOO blah (EXPERIMENTAL)" ...

so what is your problem ?
