Experimental is a completely different kettle of fish.  Unstable
contains packages that the developer hopes and expects will migrate to
Testing and end up in Stable without incident, and he's usually right.
Experimental, on the other hand, contains packages that the developer
wants people to experiment with.  It is not a mistake or policy
violation to upload a package known to contain a grave bug to
Experimental.
