What about us who would like to use a "stable" release of the OS kernel
but want to play around with experimental things? I suppose adding an
option to the begining of the Makefile that says
"ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL=N" under odd releases could be ignored and under
even releases, this would allow those who really want to mess up their
file systems and other things to do so without major modifications to the
rest of the file.
