This one has a missing depends on EXPERIMENTAL while saying it is. So *could* we please stop this maturity stuff for now ? I don't see it in .23 nor .24 if at all. And even you get this kind changes for .24 almost a sed line will cleanup the whole tree from : ... "FOO blah (EXPERIMENTAL)" ... so what is your problem ? > rday Gabriel
