Here is our disagreement:
I will not say that NEW and experimental meant similar things:
experimental material can be very old; concerning NEW, it is a limbo
for both unstable and experimental; a package is NEW only once; NEW
is not a distribution (no deb ball can be downloaded with apt based tools).

a package can stay in the NEW quite a while compare to development time.
