Hi,

Following from:

It is still documented as experimental:

 $ git grep -e experimental --and -e ninja
 Help/generator/Ninja.rst:Generates build.ninja files (experimental).
 Source/cmGlobalNinjaGenerator.cxx:  entry.Brief = "Generates build.ninja 
files (experimental).";

There are a few limitations of Ninja (like lack of Fortran support), but I 
think it is not experimental at this point.

Thanks,

Steve.
