I think it'd be good to check with upstream if the "experimental" marker
is out-dated, or still accurate, and if it's still accurate what the
downsides of this are.  I've opened a ticket:

Oh, I missed that this was reported in wxwidgets3.0 - thanks for
spotting.

I agree this should be reassigned - wxwidgets3.0 is gone from bookworm
and newer and I really can't see the release team agreeing to enabling a
new optional feature in a stable or oldstable update (and one of their
criteria is severity important or higher).

So we can only target addressing this for trixie at this point, so we can
take the time to check with upstream.  If it requires an ABI bump we'd
need to do a transition so that's a key question.

Cheers,
    Olly
