No, we have been through this. I don't want trunk == experimental because
then people not quite in the know will commit small changes to the wrong
place and people even less in the know who just want a recent working
build and do anon cvs will get it wrong. It's better that we keep the
stuff that concerns only people who know what they are looking for hidden.
