    I have a basic kernel config that I use for boot disks that has
    CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL set to no. Yet, with using my old 2.4.26 config with
    2.4.28, I'm getting prompted for new experimental features:

      NVIDIA SATA support (EXPERIMENTAL) (CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV) [N/y/m/?] (NEW)
      Ethernet Gadget (EXPERIMENTAL) (CONFIG_USB_ETH) [M/n/?]
        RNDIS support (EXPERIMENTAL) (CONFIG_USB_ETH_RNDIS) [N/y/?] (NEW)

    The fact that CONFIG_USB_ETH was set in my 2.4.26 config seems to indicate
    this is not a new problem. :->
