As a theme in Emacs Development it would allow easier testing without
changing defaults. But it includes Emacs Development only.

Another way could be as extension or package in ELPA, making a package
and publishing it in ELPA as:

experiment-001 -- would allow many Emacs users to test it, not just
developers. Package could supply feedback function. By pointing out
that it is experiment that needs user feedback, the results would be
richer with more facts from various Emacs versions as well.

That would be also one good way to ask users polls without influencing
their Emacs version.

If results are useful for some users, than a non-experimenting package
can be made that can be obtained from ELPA.

If results are appear to be useful for very many users, that could
then lead to new versions of Emacs.
