I usually avoid overlays (best way to make things hard to find), so when
there's stuff that upstream says is experimental (e.g. perl6/rakudo with
the MoarVM backend) I have no issue with adding it as un-keyworded
ebuilds to the tree. That way it's easy to test, and once there's a bit
more confidence that it works well enough it's trivial to keyword.
