We talked about this a bit as a group during my LSF/MM talk this year:

https://lwn.net/Articles/717953/

Essentially the consensus was that we need to make the XFS and ext4 mount
options consistent and get reflink + DAX in a better state.  We also probably
figure out the per-DAX inode issues that have recently been under discussion:

There will always be work to do, but I think those are the things that are
standing between us and removing the EXPERIMENTAL warning.
