I like the idea in terms of clearly defining what are experimental
features. It might also encourage more usage of branches as opposed
to keeping branches local and merging later. Would there be any downsides
to having a longer branch "path" ? Eg. for a Valgrind specific feature,
the branch would be features/valgrind/my-feature.
