Not at the moment I think. But extensions can provide that and people are working on ensuring the extension infrastructure is good enough for that. There is some conflict though as the default should be good enough. If 75% of the users install an extension, it shouldn't be an extension but default behaviour.

Did see that the overview mode might be changed a little (design wiki had new mockups), but too early to exactly know what they're changing.

Isn't it weird to be performing these experiments using the production release?

Extensions are a perfectly good place to create experiments on top of a production release.

I think bronson means the current releases seem more like experiments, if they need so many changes every time (the same goes for Unity, really).
