Also, the NEWS of ELinks 0.11.0 (Elated) list the Python
scripting back-end as experimental, and this status has not yet
been formally lifted.

Perhaps all experimental features should be gated on
--enable-experimental, to make it more likely that users
(or at least builders) will remember they are experimental.
Then we could also state that we don't publish security
advisories about vulnerabilities in experimental features.
