It's intentional: oldstable is encouraged to be upgraded and securty support will eventually run out in about a year, and experimental is like the name says, quite experimental. The extra effort needed to be able to use experimental should get the people thinking about that it's not really encouraged and that they might be on their own (to contact the package maintainer, maybe) if they stumble into problems.
