There's a time of the year for that?

It also means that commits of the "this really does nothing, but it
prepares the ground for $xxx, and I don't know just where this is going,
so quite a bit of it might be changed into something different yet"
should happen in a branch.  Actually, I am of the opinion that most of
these changes should happen in a branch anyway.  A "commit" implies
commitment, and if one has taken a bad path, redoing it is much harder
if the dead end has already ended in the main code base.

As the world champion of this style of coding, I can conclusively say that I have no problem freezing all my experiments except the large translate_axis call patch, as I am sure that I know where its going and I almost have it wrapped up after many rounds of revision and review.
