I'm OK with the idea - nothing implicit about that :-)

Not that I'm happy to whip this dead horse again, but one thing  
that's kind of annoying is that a lot of this is working around  
subversion.  Subversion doesn't do branch updating well, so the  
option to "create a branch for experimental tools that require core  
changes" involves a lot more maintenance work than with a properly  
distributed revision control system.  Changesets have to be manually  
merged and something outside the system needs to remember what was  
merged so consistency can be maintained.

Here's a thought: if we're stuck with subversion, how about  
maintaining core changes (and the experimental tools, too) as patches  
managed by a patch management system like quilt?
