The overall current state of EXPERIMENTAL in the tree is, quite frankly, somewhere between a complete crock and a wheelbarrow full of bovine fertilizer. There's a lot of things labeled EXPERIMENTAL that shouldn't be, and a lot of bleeding edge things that may eat your disks and cause your dog to turn green that aren't labelled EXPERIMENTAL. Having said that, I have *no* idea what state the snapshot code is in, but I have approximately zero confidence that the EXPERIMENTAL tag tells me anything actually useful about the snapshot code.
