It's marked EXPERIMENTAL and no distribution + enables it because it cause obscure crashes due to unfixable bugs + (interfaces don't return errors so memory allocation can't be + handled, calling contexts of these interfaces make handling + errors impossible too because they get called after we've + totally commited to creating a route object, for example). + This problem has existed for years and no forward progress + has ever been made, and nobody steps up to try and salvage + this code, so we're going to finally just get rid of it. +Who: David S.
