Taking a look at the changes to the sockets extension, some break things
on a Linux system, some don't work at all, as a side note even with
experimental extensions, you still need to be concerned with backwards
compatibility, under your logic i could remove the Sablotron extension
in favor of the XSLT extension, since Sablotron is marked experimental?
