  perhaps nothing, perhaps lots.  *of course* there can be features
that are both long-lived and still experimental.  just as, of course,
there is stuff that was (properly) tagged as EXPERIMENTAL ages ago
that has long since stabilized and can afford to stop being
experimental.

  just a small nagging for folks to take a quick look at what no
longer needs to be tagged that way, that's all.
