Do all optional packages build on Solaris/t2? I don't think it would be good to move all optional packages to experimental just because of that. I would prefer a matrix in the wiki that explains where each package builds and if there are problems. Then one can decide if an optional package is ok to use. The standard packages have to build everywhere, that's clear, and the experimental ones probably build nowhere ;) Besides that I think the experimental vs. optional distinction is just a matter of how well it works and if there is somebody "assigned" to the package; or if it is used in the sage library marked as optional in the doctest ...
