Agreed, and done: the selection rules now reject both commits that
promote a feature out from behind a CONFIG_*_EXPERIMENTAL (or equivalent
staging) gate, and fixes to code that is only reachable when such a
symbol is enabled. It keys off the config gate in the diff rather than
the changelog wording, since neither commit here reads as "experimental"
in prose.

CVE assignment runs separately from the stable queue; I will pass the
same signal along there.
