Eh? We can just keep the "2" suffix on packages, and there will be no
conflict. gnumeric for GNOME 2 would be packaged as "gnumeric2", etc.
The only legitimate reason I can see to keep GNOME 2 in experimental is
so we can have our transition scripts tested against all the users
running unstable when we do the mass-movement from experimental to
unstable.
I personally though am frustrated with experimental, because it's not
autobuilt.
