PATCH 1/1 remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
This patch removes the EXPERIMENTAL option and all dependencies on EXPERIMENTAL since they are pointless.
Complete rationale:
- Many people and all distributions are currently forced to enable CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL since the options for many device drivers depend on this option.
I have yet to see someone not being able to install his favorite distribution on his computer only because the distribution did choose to disable all SATA drivers with dependencies on EXPERIMENTAL in their kernels...
- History has shown that often the dependency on EXPERIMENTAL is not removed when the code has proven usable.
As an example, is our NFSv4 support really still in an "alpha-test phase" [1], or is it already ready for being used? I don't know the answer in this specific case, but I wouldn't answer "still in an alpha-test phase" only based on the fact that the NFSv4 options still depend on EXPERIMENTAL.
- It might have been differently 10 years ago, but today everything that is available in a released kernel should also be in a usable state.
[1] quoted from the CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL help text
Some subsystem maintainers might want to add (and maintain!) subsystem specific options FOOBAR_EXPERIMENTAL limited to their subsystem instead.
This patch does not touch "EXPERIMENTAL" strings in prompts - there was anyway no strong relation in any direction between prompts claiming an option was experimental and actual dependencies on EXPERIMENTAL...
For avoiding clashes with other patches, this patch temporarily makes CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL available as always enabled option.

Then I need a replacement equivalent for the ATA layer and all the other drivers using it to indicate stuff that *IS* experimental, or not yet known to be highly robust. Drivers are not the same as core code Ingo and the world driver writers live in is very different to the one you operate in as is clearly shown by this and by the _p discussion.
Still NAK. As the alternative is

We will also need experimental badly in future when the EU liability rules (and probably the US ones in a similar time scale) change so that liability applies to software, because then it will be very important to clearly label code that is experimental or development code as such.

But this alternative is actually _better_.
The point is that e.g. a user having to enable CONFIG_ATA_EXPERIMENTAL for getting his hardware supported does not necessarily want to see options for experimental congestion control algorithms that might be made available by CONFIG_NET_EXPERIMENTAL.

yeah, i'd prefer that. People might be willing to enable an experimental video driver but not an experimental ATA driver. This global-scope "all or nothing" CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL is totally pointless and _no_ distro uses it in practice.
If it's a pure label via which you want to document things as experimental then i'd agree with adding the "Warning: experimental code" to the help section of all the affected Kconfig entries (that way people would be more likely to actually read that label.)
but i think your suggestion of per-subsystem and/or per-driver quality levels is superior to that.

History has shown that EXPERIMENTAL tags in many areas of the kernel have not been maintained in a way that they would be usable as a guide.
And as soon as you need _one_ driver or feature depending on EXPERIMENTAL, you anyway lose all benefits it might have had.
The latter is the point where it makes sense if a user or distribution e.g. enables CONFIG_ATA_EXPERIMENTAL for getting all hardware supported but not CONFIG_CRYPTO_EXPERIMENTAL because he doesn't want to use (resp. support usage of) experimental cryptographic algorithm implementations.

CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL is way to coarse. I always need to turn it on and then it loses any value.
Why not encode the drivers status into the driver name so that is is obvious when you are configuring the kernel?
Like this for a driver name:
Compaq Smart Array 5xxx support (experimental)
Some drivers are already do this:
Micro Memory MM5415 Battery Backed RAM support (EXPERIMENTAL)
Now the status is obvious on an item by item basis.

It's also the other way around:
Is e.g. NFSv4 support really still experimental?
There are only few parts of the kernel where the EXPERIMENTAL tags are actually maintained, but most of them were simply added once and stayed forever. If my "remove all EXPERIMENTAL tags" approach is not considered the best solution I have no problem with starting with "convert EXPERIMENTAL to FOO_EXPERIMENTAL in all areas where the subsystem maintainer wants to do so" and remove the remaining EXPERIMENTAL tags later.

Definately NAK for the MIPS segments. Some of the EXPERIMENTAL dependencies should be removed but many options tagged with EXPERIMENTAL are still dangerous.
Likewise for the SH portions. EXPERIMENTAL in these places really does mean EXPERIMENTAL. BROKEN has very different meanings, as does silently promoting the offending options to !EXPERIMENTAL.
While EXPERIMENTAL in drivers/ might not have any real meaning, most of the examples listed for arch/ have been intentional, and I'd wager that most arch maintainers used it both carefully and intentionally. There's no reason to punish arch/ for the transgressions of drivers/.
If enough subsystems switch off of EXPERIMENTAL and use a subsystem-specific EXPERIMENTAL option, then perhaps we can reclaim EXPERIMENTAL to actually mean what it's supposed to, without worrying about people just turning it on to get at all of their missing driver options.
