Whether labeled "experimental" or not, it's always been very confusing to me that the release ("stable") branch has modules in it that developers know don't work at all and therefore should not ever be attempted to be used by any ordinary user in any way whatsoever...

Therefore I agree, "stable branch, experimental directory" shouldn't be a place for "known completely hosed and unusable" modules, it should be a place for "seems to work fine for me, see how it works for you, but this is pretty new and not necessarily as well tested in production on every platform yet so use at your own risk" modules. The "broken and not yet finished enough for anyone to ever think about using yet even on an experimental basis" modules should only be available in the "dev branch, experimental directory" at least until someone believes they work for at least some people on some platform.

My personal feeling is to *not* include them in the 2.2 branch at this
time.
