let CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL depend on EXPERIMENTAL
PATCH 1/1 let CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL depend on EXPERIMENTAL
It seems logical.
Note that CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL itself doesn't enable any code.

If users really remember that
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTALdoes not enable anything than it is probably a good idea -
I'd express it differently:
People interested in experimental options like CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL did already enable EXPERIMENTAL.

There is a minor problem - ie that there are some features in CIFS that with 2.6.14 out are no longer really experimental that need to be pulled
out of the ifdef. I have a pretty big cifs merge to do, but I have no
real problem with your patch (we have enough time to add one or two more cifs config options, clean up others)
I don't see any problem with this.
It's quite normal that code moves out of an EXPERIMENTAL option once it's matured.

"Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
"Only a promise," Lao Er said.
