The only aspect of "experimental" that matters is what it means to the release process. If you can't meet that bar then debating semantics won't help either.

And by the way, the patch thread clearly stresses a) loss of data, b) the patch trying to sneak under the maintenance radar new features. That is the definition of unstable in anyone's book.

Experimental has no defined meaning with respect to the release process.

It's a signal to users - "watch out if you're going to use this thing"

Nonsense. And to make matters worse, you're commenting as if trying to sneak features in bug fixes late on the release process has no impact on quality assurance.
