Some people thinks experimental is hard. Other people dislike doing the
copyright-documentation that is required for the official archive. And
qt-kde.d.n also could allow people who isn't a DD/DM to put packages
there.
I think 1) is bogus. But note that experimental is also sometimes used
for stuff that is *experimental*.
2) is just a way to delay work that anyways needs to be done. so just
get it done.
and 3) I just think is a bad idea.

It is completely unrelated to the freeze.

Ack.
Oh. and note that what's in experimental now is still considered
experimental. so ensure you have backups ready if you install it.
And it is definately not ready for bug reports like 'you miss <foo>'.
Actual upgrade issues, like file overlaps and such - you are most
welcome to report those. But remember your backup.
And finally, if any newcomer wants to help on easy tasks (there is lots
of easy packages left), please contact me.
