What I would like to see is a freeze on the experimental branch as soon
as KUnit goes into mainline (which is really at the end of this week)

Start draining the experimental branch with a goal to get all everything 
currently staged there mainlined.

Please define clear sunset date for the experimental branch. Without
that we are looking at a lot of pain in the future.

thanks,
