Most of the compiler warnings are irrelevant for most of the
applications, and some are bogus (in the sense that the code
is perfectly fine as it stands).

Not sure what "experimental" would mean; it normally means
that it may change or may be abandoned as a failure. I don't
think this is the case with this port (although I do want
to drop IA-64 binaries in 2.6, due to lack of interest).

If you think it means "has known bugs", then this applies to
all Python releases on all target systems, ever (just look
at the open bugs list).
