Rather than overload an existing config option, why not add one with the specific semantics you want: CONFIG_UNSTABLE_UABI. The problem seems like one which which may occur again, though one hopes not too often. I guess the risk is that people will leave their subsystems depending on it permanently (sysfs?), so it ends up being set all the time and becomes as useless as EXPERIMENTAL...
