Well, we had to stop somewhere. Our use cases include importing hundreds 
of samples, extracts, etc. down to raw bioassays, everything put into a 
single (or at least only a few) experiments. Since the raw data import 
also has to be done manually for each raw bioassay, we didn't see any 
real benefit for importing experiments.

There is no technical limitation.
