Is K2V still experimental as the docs say or ready to roll? I’m asking because you have enabled it by default in cdb2a59 and also don’t provide -k2v variant in extra builds since 0.8.0.

Is K2V still experimental as the [docs](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/reference-manual/k2v/) say or ready to roll? I’m asking because you have enabled it by default in [cdb2a59](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/commit/cdb2a591e9d393d24ab5c49bb905b0589b193299) and also don’t provide `-k2v` variant in extra builds since 0.8.0.

We enabled it by default because it's a hassle to provide separate builds, but it's definitely still experimental. In particular we may need to change the semantics of the API if we find out that the current one is not working for one reason or another. If you are interested in using K2V, please do so and tell us what you think. Your feedback will help us stabilize this, on our side we don't yet have a big workload using K2V so we haven't yet confirmed that it works well in practice.
