Hm, not sure that's the intended interpretation, but basically it works
for me. End-users shouldn't be expected to use it yet, because they would
shoot themselves in the foot. Then they would come crying to the
maintainers of the packages, who would then want to shoot themselves in
the head. ;)
No, best to keep the packages in experimental as Christian suggests until
there's a bit more Gnome2 support outside of the core desktop, more bugs
are found and fixed, and the hordes of users who demand the bleeding edge
(hopefully) convince upstream to put back a few of the things they took
out concluding nobody would ever miss them...
