I got asked offlist if there was a serious point here. There was, so to put it more seriously: Currently Experimental is the place to upload things not ready for use except under very narrow circumstances. It gets abused as a place for new versions during freeze as it is, but if it's the defined path into Rolling during freezes then there's a need to separate these two functions, IMO.
