Let's keep it experimental for the coming > release. IIRC, it's a new guideline added recently (people were talking about that in last year's DPDK user event after all). And my understanding is, for a new (big set of) APIs, it's good to make them experimental, as normally, it's not an easy task to make a big stuff right in one time. For this one, which is simple and straightforward, I don't see a strong need to mark it as experimental. Thus I have removed it (while apply). If anyone has objections, let me know. Thanks. --yliu
