Being one of those who use 'aggressively' :-P experimental, I can
also say that branching and syncing different packages
is potentially a real pain.
Please, use experimental in a reasonable and minimal
way. Having testing, unstable and a-really-unstable could be worst
than now: current managing of testing <- unstable is automatic.
It's not the same for unstable <- experimental.
Massive use of experimental could bring to chaos...
That's just my 2¢
