This option should IMHO no longer depend on EXPERIMENTAL.
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. 
I'll fix it.
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]. 
I think a sane metric is "opinion of people who know the code". But
I don't care much, I don't think many people care whether something
is maked experimental or not.
[1]If you used half of that logic on netfilter it would still be
experimental or rather should be demoted to experimental.
I'll take that as a compliment :)
