I don't think there has been sufficient change to justify adding it
back to the menu again by unsetting it as expermental.

Wrt being permanently removed, I have a suspicion that removing the
feature entirely is not risk free in the sense that users profiles that
were created when the feature wasn't marked experimental may include
references to the menu entry, especially if tools->customize was used.
