Doing that would give you an experimental libc6, which is known to be
broken in various ways.

I prefer leaving my system as unstable and not editing apt.conf, then
doing "apt-get -t experimental upgrade", pressing No, and the installing
the gnome packages listed by hand.

Not a single operation, but it's preferable to experimental libc, ssh,
ifupdown...
