I think my point is that I don't have the feeling that this the case.
With my developer hat, I for once do not generally expect that I will
be forced anytime soon to do adjustments to the implementations of
Experimental XEPs that are implemented in Dino. I obviously can't speak
for others, but with OMEMO we certainly see that implementers are not
generally aware that they should or are not willing to change to newer
versions of it over time. Also, as some XEPs stay in Experimental for a
long period of time, the people that originally implemented it
somewhere might long have stopped working on it if an update happens
years later - so there might just be nobody that can update the code
for realizing a breaking change in some codebase.
