Who decided whether a particular option is 'experimental' or not?

Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson. TCP Vegas: end to end congestion
avoidance on a global Internet. IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in
Communications, 13(8), October 1995.

I think the *right* fix here is '- depends on EXPERIMENTAL'.  1995. Geez. :)

(Probably *all* of the 'experimental' tags for congestion control need an in-depth
review - but Vegas struck me as particularly egregious.)
