This is going somewhere very similar to an idea I've had recently; forming a
"labs.gnome.org" style experimentation area, with a focus on doing releases,
but not having onerous, scary commitments, while at the same time beefing up
some of our Desktop release suite commitments (library stability is a hugely
important thing for integration, most of which is relevant in our Desktop
suite).
