While I hate to drag it out even longer, it seems slightly optimistic to
drop experimental at the same time as the "last" fix, in case it's not
really the last fix.

But I don't have super strong feelings about it, and I would be happy to
finally see experimental go away. So if those who are more tuned into
the details are comfortable with that 6.7 plan, I'll defer to them on
the question.

Thanks,
