Subject: dropping CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL (was: warning: (BLK_DEV_RBD && CEPH_FS)
 selects CEPH_LIB which has unmet direct dependencies (NET && INET && EXPERIMENTAL))

It looks like the drop-experimental patches have started to land in
Linus's tree ahead of schedule (they're queuing up in linux-next[1]
currently). These types of warnings don't happen if the first patch
from my series (that explicitly enables CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL until all
references are removed) is in the tree.

How would people like to handle this? I could ask Linus to pull the
ceph change to make this specific warning go away, but I'm nervous
that we'll just continue to see one-off problems.
