I'd much rather have the libs and preferrably the server and drivers ready
in experimental first. Especially since those will be the first serious
test of the protocol headers. Not that I'm worried about the headers, but I
don't see a big gain in moving the protocol headers in ahead of the libs
right now. The key is to get the functional parts (libs, server, drivers)
working anyway, so pushing ahead with that is more important.
