I don't currently use installmgr at all, but I think the experimental repository should definitely be removed. Potentially, modules in the experimental repository will cause crashes - possibly leading to the software crashing on startup after it is installed (I think the versetreekey modules are like this currently - or at least were sometime). After all, users who are advanced enough to want it can manually add it in.

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.
