Well if people are scared about there could always be a profile dir with the name "development" "devonly" "broke" "unsupported" "3rdparty" or whatever (I don't really care). But i guess no matter how obviously it is, someone will always object. I'd say everything outside default-linux is fine. If you use something outside default-linux, some documentation must have suggested it to you anyway. With a deprecated (or similar info) the warning sign is big enough. If someone ignores all warnings and breaks his system i honestly wouldn't care. I don't even think this is necessary, but maybe it'll make a few more people accept it. If we can't even add something this small and trivial for development, we're doomed and there will be no progress anymore but only poinless huge discussions.
