Not being a native english speaker I probably didnīt understand that
experimental equals broken. If that equation cannot be justified, then
the release notes should have said "has critical defects" or "broken",
not just "experimental".

I appreciate the work you and everybody else puts in, it just does not make
sense to have people go through the same hoops and hit the wall when that
could be saved by a single line noting that that the wall exists.
