* libparted/arch/linux.c (_device_set_sector_size): Remove the
"HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL" warning, now that support for >512-byte sectors
seems to be usable. Suggested by Colin Watson.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Note this

Similarly, msdos_partition_get_flag(p,PED_PARTITION_HIDDEN) always returns 0
for an extended partition.
+** Changes in behavior
+
+ libparted no longer issues an exception/warning about >512-byte
+ sector support being "HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL". It seems to have matured
+ enough to be usable at least with GPT and MSDOS partition tables.

* Noteworthy changes in release 2.2 (2010-02-26) [stable]
