From 866307285445f1086af1cc8352a46e55260274d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Golle Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2020 19:29:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] config: add big EXPERIMENTAL option As discussed in the today's (2020-12-10) meeting, add a new option to menuconfig to group the selection of all experimental features to be selected by default. Developers are recommended to make use of this new symbol to guard new features. Other developers and community members should feel encouraged to build with this flag enabled to help testing and provide feedback.
