Why is &raw still experimental?

In ptr::addr_of! it uses &raw, it's usable in std and core libraries. But if I use &raw in src/main.rs, compiler says it's experimental.

Using it also gives you a link to the tracking issue:

Tracking issue for RFC 2582, &raw [mut | const] $place (raw_ref_op) #64490.
That even has some recent comments on where its at.
