They are different targets.
Experimental API is always enabled but may be avoided by applications.
Next ABI can be used to break ABI without notice and disabled to keep
old ABI compatibility. It is almost never used because it is preferred
to keep ABI compatibility with rte_compat macros, or wait a deprecation
period after notice.
