## Summary

All 20 patches in this series are correctly promoting experimental APIs to stable. The only issue found:

### Warning (Patch 01/20)

**Missing release notes** for adding the export to Windows rte_basename. The patch adds `RTE_EXPORT_EXPERIMENTAL_SYMBOL` which is an API change (making the symbol visible on Windows) and should be documented in release notes, even though patch 02/20 immediately promotes it to stable.

Suggested addition to patch 01/20 commit message or release notes:
```
This makes rte_basename() available on Windows, matching the Unix implementation.
```

All other patches are well-structured, include appropriate release notes updates, and correctly update both export macros and header documentation.
