The experimental status refers to the fact that the API may change from
release to release. The module itself is stable and is used in
production in many places (we use it at Apache ourselves on servers with
millions of daily requests). It is considered a part of the official
releases, although some distros have failed to include it properly (I
believe in part because of some packaging issues).

So, to sum up: the module works, but we may decide to alter it a bit
from time to time, hence the 'experimental' status sticking to it.

With regards,

Daniel,

Thank you for the complete explanation.
I'm happy to know that the module is stable and handles millions of 
requests.
I was in doubt if it was stable enough to use in a project that I'm 
planning to develop.
