I don't like this idea. Unstable is supposed to be for stuff intended to 
go to the next release. Experimental is not for this purpose neither,

You must know better than me how big is the maintenance effort, but I 
still think that these package being RC-buggy for years, we should avoid 
highly superfluous work until the situation has stabilized for some time.
