Is that a new (double) standard? It used to be common practice to add
new extensions as EXPERIMENTAL to core. IIRC all the last PECL
extensions that got moved to core were added like this. Maybe its my
fault, but on the todo list that Ilia also posted to this list both json
and filter were listed as being added as experimental (although Rasmus
just told me on IRC that he does not see json as experimental).
For that matter are the new datetime/datetimezone classes experimental?
EXPERIMENTAL is just a way to cover our asses against not being able to
break BC if we find out we screwed something up in a new extension.
Bringing something into core obviously gives us a larger testbed and so
new situations are likely to popup.
