I think that the only difference between an optional and a standard package should be (and I hope: currently *is*!) that an optional package is not (yet) installed by default, for reasons that are independent of the overall quality and portability of the package. In other words: Installation of an optional package is supposed to work and keep SageMath fully functional on all supported platforms. If it doesn't then it is an experimental package.
