Most importantly, remove the code which flags an error if the feature-gate is not present (since the feature is now considered stable). If the feature can be detected because it employs some new syntax, then a common place for that code to be is in `compiler/rustc_ast_passes/src/feature_gate.rs`. For example, you might see code like this:

```rust,ignore
gate_all!(pub_restricted, "`pub(restricted)` syntax is experimental");
gate_feature_post!(box_patterns, span, "box pattern syntax is experimental");
