I do not think we would officially label SHA-256 support as "stable" until we have good interoperability with SHA-1 repositories, but the expectation is that we will make reasonable effort to keep migration path for the current SHA-256 repositories, even if it turns out that its on-disk format need to be updated, to keep the end-user data safe.

So while "no-longer-experimental" patch is probably a bit premature, the warning in flashing red letters to caution against any use other than testing may want to be toned down.

Thanks.
