While I think all the defconfigs that have CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
should have those lines removed, this seems sensible enough.
$ git grep -w CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL -- "*defconfig*" | wc -l

Here's a little script to remove the CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
lines from all the defconfigs too:
$ git grep -w --name-only CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL -- "*defconfig*" | \
xargs sed -i -e '/CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=[yn]/d'
