It's not a good idea for us to leave in half-finished features that tempt users to try them and make the viewer less reliable. While we might attract a very small number of enthusiasts who don't care that the viewer crashes, we'll just confuse and alienate a much much larger number of normal users who don't know what it is, don't care, and suffer from the added complexity of the viewer code and consequent instability. The viewer is open source - the enthusiasts are more than welcome (indeed, encouraged) to build bleeding-edge experimental features in third party viewers. I stand ready to advocate for integrating those that prove themselves.
