Because you can select your applications from experimental und the
basic libraries not. If you have a chains of four dependencies (e.g.
for kde) where you can independly select whether from experimental or
not, you'll end up with 16 variants. You may perhaps get some out of
the same files, but not all. And you can't (trivially) put more a
package more than once with the exactly same version number in the
pool. We're having this problem with subarchitectures (a thing more
prominent to solve IMHO), and it would be far worse here.
