Sounds good to me. A package should go into experimental if it has
one of these characteristics:
- hazardous (like defrag was)
- a prototype program (maybe not fully functional), "for comment"
- an existing tool, with added prototype code to illustrate a new
feature (maybe not fully functional), "for comment"
- a reimplementation of an existing tool - e.g. in a different
language - which may not be quite right yet
