That's one of the things that was talked about surrounding this 
discussion.  In short -- what would it take to have an "experimental" 
repository available for people to try things that might be considered 
particularly disruptive, etc to the "mainstream" Fedora processes.

What are some of the bigger technical challenges that stop us from just 
setting something like that up pretty quickly/easily?
