No, experimental is not satisfying:
1/ packages in experimental are not correctly tested, the userbase is too small.
2/ migrating from experimental to unstable requires source uploads and all
the rebuildds (with the accompanying delays for slow arches)
3/ experimental is not meant for daily usage, so it's doesn't help users
who really want a rolling release
