Do you suggest to keep it as Product or Experimental?

The full sentences are as below:

// DIAGNOSTIC options are not meant for VM tuning or for product modes.
//    They are to be used for VM quality assurance or field diagnosis
//    of VM bugs.  They are hidden so that users will not be encouraged to
//    try them as if they were VM ordinary execution options.  However, they
//    are available in the product version of the VM.  Under instruction
//    from support engineers, VM customers can turn them on to collect
//    diagnostic information about VM problems.


I think it should not be Experimental anymore, and seems it's better than Product, and can be used in product (`However, they are available in the product version of the VM`). But I'm not quite sure.
