This is actually a compelling reason to remove the repo. I was still 
leaning toward leaving it in, since users can still ignore a repo named 
"experimental" even if it's in their auto-updated repo list. But I think 
crashing on startup--which could certainly occur--is a sufficiently 
confusing circumstance for a new user who naively installs every module 
that they might want to (or have to) uninstall entirely.
