What exactly do you mean here? > The question is whether this is guaranteed. If you were thinking about usage of CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL in code or in Makefiles: no, I don't think there's a guarantee that this won't be done. But it should be clear that EXPERIMENTAL is intended as, say, a tag for config options. So it's likely that usage of EXPERIMENTAL outside that scope will be prevented.
