Now I suppose we are at "just before the 23.1 release". Will the NS port be marked as experimental/hackers-only, or given a title of "first-class" port as a part of the official release?I believe it is considered "first class port". At least I do not thinkit's "experimental". [ Of course, the situation is completely different for the GNUstep support ]
The long list of bugs (including crashes) suggests to mark it as experimental. We currently don't have enough people who contribute fixes. The port doesn't have release quality. Note that the port doesn't build on the developer-releases of OS X 10.6 (dumping fails), so it is likely that it won't build on 10.6 once it is out.
On the other hand, we don't want to discourage people to tinker with it since we want them to contribute code. So it would be important to get it out there for people to use.
