Can Emacs have "experimental" and "stable" dev branches with the former

usefulness and quality, they can be moved to the stable branch.
In some sense this exists with prepared configurations (or
"distributions" as some call them). The changes they can make are not
exactly the same as a "experimental" branch could, but they can do a lot
of superficial and organisational changes.

And as those distributions have been around for some time, we could look at the changes in options they made and strongly consider making the changes in defaults where those distributions agree, or largely agree.

Those kind of arguments, however, aren't generally accepted around here either.
