For how long will restore and switch be experimental

For how long will restore and switch be experimental

[Ramold, Felix]

The features git-switch and git-restore where added in 2.23.
I think they are great and I want to use them frequently. Also teach colleagues.
However, they are still marked experimental, and may change. I don't want to learn or teach something that will likely change.
Can this be changed to stable?

Kind regards

Felix Ramold

We are still finding bugs in it, and the details of how they work
may still change, so "will likely change" label still applies.

But we do not plan to say "ah, the experiment was a failure, and
everybody has to unlearn that switch and restore ever existed" at
all, so at this point it is safe to use it.  You just need to be
prepared to adjust your muscle memory in minor and still not
anticipated ways.

Thanks.
