I'm not opposed to either idea, but I'm not sure how we'd define the
experimental vs production distinction. Some dists, especially
source-based ones like Sabotage, lack the selection of packages users
might expect from a production desktop or server distro, but they can
still be very suitable for production use in embedded or in small or
"more traditional" servers without all kinds of modern bloat.

Maybe it would make sense to suggest a few comparable well-known
distros for each one ("Debian-like", "Gentoo-like", "Buildroot-like",
etc.)?
