I'm the only maintainer, and I'll remove it no problem, but honestly
it's not going to change peoples bug reports.  The people who want to
use the compositor have to know what they are doing (at least google it)
to turn it on in their xorg config.  You advertise this feature and even
if experimental, people will use it.  I vote to just close the bugs like
you did if you don't want to mess with them. How about I just add a big
fat warning at the end saying that this is an experimental feature and
not to bother filing bugs upstream?
