To quote Linus, "An experimental driver is better than no driver at all." That is why the experimental features/drivers are included in 2.0.
In short, 2.0 is a "stable" kernel, except, perhaps, the things marked "EXPERIMENTAL". ;-)
Actually, you may find many of the experimental features to be quite stable. Isn't Linux amazing?!
