Replying to [comment:8 kcrisman]:
> experimental can be as broken as they want to be. ''Someone'' probably
does have the expertise to fix each of them, and removing them completely
means no one will even have the chance.
I agree with this. There is a reason we differentiate between ''optional''
and ''experimental''.
However, there is one thing that could be improved: when the user does
{{{
./sage -i graphviz
}}}
there is no obvious clue that an experimental package is being installed.
So, we could make it so that downloading an experimental package this way
would first print a warning along the lines of
{{{
WARNING: you are about to download and install an experimental package.
This
probably won't work at all for you! Use at your own risk!
Are you sure you want to continue [Y/n]?
}}}
