What's the status of VBR in OpenDKIM? Still experimental?

I'm looking into implementing VBR in OpenDKIM.

The VBR WikiPedia page reads

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vouch_by_Reference
                Implementations and variations
                        "OpenDKIM and MDaemon Messaging Server by Alt-N Technologies[2] have been among the first software implementations of VBR."

The main manpage

        http://www.opendkim.org/opendkim.8.html

makes no reference to VBR at all, and the config page

        http://www.opendkim.org/opendkim.conf.5.html

lists the VBR-* variables, referencing '_at_VBR_MANNOTICE@' as default.

In opendkim's 'configure', VBR_MANNOTICE is defined as "experimental"

        ...
        if test "${enable_vbr+set}" = set; then :
                ...
                VBR_MANNOTICE="(Note: Feature is experimental.)"
        ...

VBR's apparently been around since 2009.


Is VBR in Opendkim still considered 'experimental' today ?


Also, what's the difference between

        VBR-TrustedCertifiers
&
        VBR-Certifiers

in the config and usage?
