This option should IMHO no longer depend on EXPERIMENTAL.

This patch was already sent on:
- 12 Feb 2006

Yesterday I managed to crash my machine playing around with tc actions
within minutes. I haven't looked into it yet, but it seems it still
needs more testing.

Simple: Fix the bug and submit a patch. If you cant find the cause post
what you are doing. 

What is the metric for going from experimental to non-experimental?
I surely hope it doesnt come to some irrational reasoning like
"Patrick found a bug"[1]. 
- It has been around since 2.6.7/8;
- I use it extensively on about 10 machines since (I am pretty sure a
lot more extensively than Patrick)
- I know people who use it extensively
- I am pretty sure there are people that i dont know who use it
extensively 

So on Adrian's patch and above reasoning:

[1]If you used half of that logic on netfilter it would still be
experimental or rather should be demoted to experimental.
