I wouldn't say that it's experimental.
It's not perfect - there are still things to improve to make
it more efficient, but the routing itself will remain intact.

There is a bunch of simulation tests for this engine,
but they're not integrated into the nightly simulation regression yet.
It's on my to-do list.

Sure.
