I think this is a good idea, but I agree with Evan.. this is going to be time and energy consuming.
Rather than this, I would say to who has a personal laconi.ca instance linked to identi.ca (and is willing to do so) to patch their installations with the experimental features, and send feedback to the mailing-list. At this stage any kind of feedback is useful: how the code perform if the interface is user-friendly enough if the feature has been appreciated by the users if it's consuming less CPU and I/O if it's "cool" or not AND brings value to the end user As a final note, we don't want to run experimental code on the production DB... restoring from a backup is slow and painful.
