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 ...
