I'm not sure if it is right reason. Nowhere I found about this code is broken.
And experimental - it is half of kernel code.

Information I found, was not well-founded, it could be only any speculation.
And as I now was little look at driver sources, there are many changes between
kernels 2.6.33 and 2.6.35-36. During nearly year several firmaware updates was
too.
