The following commits (released in v6.0.0) made raised the
quality of the TCI backend to the other TCG architectures,
thus is is not considerated experimental anymore:
- c6fbea47664..2f74f45e32b
- dc09f047edd..9e9acb7b348
- b6139eb0578..2fc6f16ca5e

 Non-supported architectures may be removed in the future following the
