Ubuntu probably wouldn't want to sync without the transition at least in progress, so syncing from experimental is probably not going to happen.  Ideally, Ubuntu would sync everything from testing once the transition is completed.  However, given our different freeze timelines, Ubuntu could probably sync from Unstable if most of the transition is complete.
