I agree, and this is one of the things I've been thinking about related to
my 'labs.gnome.org' idea. A place for experimentation and folly, that is
still very much a GNOME sandpit, but without any of the expectations that go
with it.

(However, this is not on-topic for this list -- I suggest you post general
discussion stuff like this to gnome-hackers, or specific suggestions about
our services to gnome-infrastructure.)
