Sounds reasonable to me.

For reference, these are the targets currently marked experimental: ARC, AVR, Nios2, RISCV, WebAssembly. I think RISCV ought to be moved out of the "experimental" list, too. (cc += asb, for comment)

I would like to promote it from "experimental" during the 8.0 cycle. I intend to propose this move between now on the LLVM Dev Meeting.

As to the original topic of this thread. WebAssembly definitely seems mature enough to promote from experimental. In my view, any backend that is "stable" at the time of an official release has a certain obligation with regards to stability of interfaces (command line interface, object format, assembly, etc etc). It looks like Dan Gohman answered my question there <http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-September/126261.html> and things are now fairly fixed.

Best,

Alex
