Hi Joel.

The macro recorder existed even before LibO and OOo and was built on the code
of StarOffice in the pre-OOo area... I think it hasn't received any polishing
during the years and remained just a "limited" feature, working just in Writer
and Calc and allowing only basic stuff.

I still think it's not an experimental feature but just a feature with limited
functionality like it's correctly said in the UI panel.

like any other OOo/LibO feature it has it's own bugs, which however are not
that much, if you see results of this simple query:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=macro%20recording&list_id=447006
 (just 13 hits)

chart, tables etc. etc. have much more related bugs and are not listed as
experimental, right?

regarding the Bug 64314 - Macro recording tracker bug 
well, Micheal opened it just to say that there's actual no dev resources or
interest improving it... he is actually not a big fan of that feature.

so the current request here is not to improve the macro recorder but just to
change the text of the option panel.

if we analyze the text, the macro recording is not an "experimental feature"
it's an "optional (unstable) option" together with "experimental feature" which
is a separate item.

what I asked is just an UI change and move the "unstable" label to the
"experimental features" and leave the "limited" to the macro recording, 
see comment 0. all other stuff is out of topic.
