ask allison, not me :). anyways, if we were going the experiemental
route, we'd either have to put rakudo from git and parrot from svn, or
wait until the septemeber releases of both of them. either of which I'd
be happy to do, and I have rakudo + parrot packages building from git/svn.

so Allison, what's your opinion?
