But are we going to need major refactorings ? We need to know the state of 
wec2013 before discussing further, no point in speculating on what was meant 
by "experimental".

The 5.6-Release page says "Added support for WEC2013", it doesn't mention 
experimental, and also note that it just needs to be as feature-complete as 
WEC7, so the bar is pretty low ;)
