/stable was to be branched off of /dev and /dev should serve as a
testbed for updates and fixes going into the stable release. So
in order to allow users who currently run /dev to migrate to
/stable later we can't currently upgrade /dev to /experimental.
However, I'm all for integrating the b173 pkg backport into /dev
and thus the stable release.
