For consistency, I think a .experimental sub-branch is more appropriate.
That way, there will be no need to rewrite or put more exceptions in
the policy as well.  That's the path I'll follow for now.  If you have
strong opinions against this, I can always change the branch cert
before pushing (I will wait for your response before doing so).

What's the prognosis on when the freeze on unstable will be lifted, do
you know?

Cheers,
Richard
