While there are cases where it is largely superfluous, we also have
plenty of cases in here that are genuinely experimental features and
generally shouldn't be enabled unless someone is prepared for some
hacking. We can of course replace this with an arch-specific option if
needed, but I disagree with suddenly making experimental features
suddenly appear to be anything other than what they are.
